Struggling with difficult emotions can make it hard to engage in everyday life, often leading to feelings of hopelessness. Working with an experienced therapist to develop effective coping skills can help you to feel more in control by learning to manage these feelings and the thoughts that accompany them. With over 15 years of experience, I have a passion for working with teens and adults who are struggling with mood disorders, personality disorders and anxiety disorders. Focusing on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, we can work to develop skills that enable you participate in and enjoy life.

Maybe you are experiencing thoughts of suicide.
Something I notice when working with young people is they are often grappling with philosophical questions, maybe for the first time. They get trapped in searching for happiness, but what they really want is to matter, to do significant things with their life, to live meaningfully. My existential approach can help with that.

I know that sometimes, the stress of life can make it hard to keep the hope going. Whether from our job, our relationships, specific events and losses, or just the world at large, it all adds up. I worked 15 years in emergency communications and recently as a peer support member, bringing an understanding of the specific stressors faced by frontline helpers and first responders. From the grind of rotating shifts to workplace dynamics, it's a lot to balance. No matter your job or your history, you don't have to worry about dark humour or watching your language. I want to be relatable and make you comfortable.

Hello, I specialize in mental health and addictions. I believe that true healing comes from a holistic approach that addresses the whole person- mind, body and soul. At the heart of my practice is a spiritual approach that helps individuals connect with their inner selves and tap into their deepest beliefs and values. By exploring the spiritual aspects of wellness, we can find a greater meaning and purpose in our lives, and experience a greater sense of joy and fulfillment. I do recognize that each person is unique and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness so I am flexible in my approach.

You thought you knew what parenthood would look like — you’d have balance in your life, and feel confident in your new role. Instead, you may find yourself overwhelmed by anxiety, guilt and waves of unfamiliar rage. Unpredictable emotions, and the constant worry about whether you’re “doing it right” is becoming your new normal. You aren't being given the support you need, and no one told you it was okay to struggle during a time that is often expected to only feel joyful and fulfilling. I work with women, youth and families navigating life transitions specializing in the perinatal period and adolescence.

As a fellow human with ADHD, I know how overwhelming it can be to seek support (especially when you’ve spent years hoarding shame like abandoned hobbies). Just know, you don’t have to make sense of this alone, and you don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. You’ve probably heard every version of what ADHD is supposed to be: a disorder, a superpower, a lack of effort, a gift. When you’re deeply engaged in something you love, it’s hard to see it as a problem. But when everyday tasks like dishes or laundry feel overwhelming, it’s hard to see it as a strength.

Suicidal Ideation Counsellors
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioural therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.

Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.

Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
