I am committed to providing an environment that  is welcoming, affirming, safe, and free from any form of discrimination.  Actions, words, jokes, or comments based on others' sex, gender identity, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, religion, ability status, or sexual orientation are not tolerated in individual or group settings. If they should arise in our work together, they will be addressed and discussed in the context of the therapeutic work in which we are engaging.
