  • In an emergency, call 911

    If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

  • Between sessions

    This office does not monitor calls or messages around the clock. For anything urgent, call 988 or 911.

  • If grief feels too heavy

    After a loss, some people find themselves thinking they cannot go on. That is worth telling someone today: call or text 988, or say it to me at your next session.

  • If you are worried about someone

    988 also helps if you are worried about a friend or family member who is grieving. You can call or text for advice on what to do.
