I am licensed as a psychologist in Washington State and adhere to rules and regulations applying to psychologists.  These laws cover matters such as record keeping and protecting safety of clients and others, and are detailed in my consent forms.  

​

I am a member of the American Psychological Association and I use the ethical code of the APA to help guide my activities as a psychologist (https://www.apa.org/ethics/code). 

​

There are numerous Federal laws concerning privacy of your healthcare information and your access to medical records that I  keep.  A copy of my notice of privacy practices can be seen here.  

​

All electronic devices and files used in my practice are encrypted and paper records are locked.   Electronic communications, like email, are conducted within Federal guidelines to ensure the security of your records.
