Your privacy is important to me

Confidentiality  

What it means.

Confidentiality means that the information you share with me stays private.  With only a few exceptions, I do not reveal any information about my clients without specific permission.  You can feel confident knowing that what you tell me stays between us.  Please read this example of a Consent form for more detailed information about confidentiality.  

Electronic security and privacy  

Electronic communication such as email, text messages, and instant messaging are very convenient and can be very helpful. However, it is important to know that they are not as secure as talking on the phone or using regular mail.  This is because copies of each email, text, and instant message get saved by the company that provides that service.
