Contacting Me:
I am often not immediately available by telephone. When I am unavailable, you
may leave a message on my confidential telephone voice mail. I will make every effort to return
your call on the same day you make it, with the exception of weekends and holidays. In case of an
emergency, go to or call the nearest emergency room (911) and ask to speak to a member of the
psychiatric emergency team. My services are limited to outpatient treatment and I do not carry an
emergency beeper. As such, I cannot provide emergency service. Please note that 988 is a national mental health hotline available 24/7 to support anyone struggling with a mental health crisis.
