Confidentiality:
I will hold our conversations in strict confidence. Our time together is sacred. I will not reveal the content of our conversations unless I am required to do so by law or court order. On the other hand, you are free to share whatever you choose about our conversations with anyone.
Disclaimer:
I offer services, including Internal Family Systems, as a Spiritual Director, not as a fully trained or licensed therapist. If it becomes apparent that mental health therapy or psychiatric medication is something you might benefit from, I will offer support so that you can find the additional care that you might need in order to heal. If you are already under such care, please consult your licensed medical and/or mental health professionals before making any changes in your mental or physical health routines.
