I am a psychotherapist specializing in relationships. I work with individuals and couples in all areas of relationship development and support.

Posting a review of my services is your right as a client and it is entirely up to you to decide whether you wish to write a review.

Posting a review of my services is your right as a client and it is entirely up to you to decide whether you wish to write a review. But I gently discourage clients from posting reviews of my practice for the reasons below. 1. The National Association of Social Worker's Code of Ethics states that it is unethical for me to solicit testimonials: Social workers should not engage in solicitation of testimonial endorsements (including solicitation of consent to use a client’s prior statement as a testimonial endorsement) from current clients or from other people who, because of their particular circumstances, are vulnerable to undue influence. NASW Code of Ethics, 1996, Revised 2008, 4.07.b Since you may decide to return to therapy with me at a later date, I do not request testimonials from people who have ended therapy with me. 2. Unlike other business owners who may respond to their online reviews, as a clinical social worker, I must provide confidentiality to my clients. This means I am restricted from responding in any way that acknowledges whether someone has been in my care. 3. If we work together, I hope we can discuss your feelings about our work directly and in person. This may not always feel comfortable, but discussion of your positive and negative reactions to our work can be an important part of your therapy. If we are not a good match, I'm always happy to help you find a therapist who better suits you. 4. If you do write something about my practice on an online review site, note that this is a public forum. To preserve your privacy, consider using a pseudonym that is not linked to your regular email address or friend networks. 5. If you believe that I (or any licensed mental health professional) have done something harmful, consider contacting your state licensing board to make a formal complaint. This may protect other consumers of therapy services. Be aware that details of your therapy may come up if there is a formal investigation.
