You've been to therapy before. You know what it's like: sympathetic, supportive, validating. That's all really nice, but comments like: "You're so self-aware!" become stale after awhile. You've overcome mountains and you know that you're capable of even greater things, if only you could get out of your own way.
You may even have this creepy feeling running in the background that if you don't get to what's underneath the self-sabotage, you'll keep ruining relationships and opportunities. You're tired of regret.
You're ready to be challenged. You've made it this far, and you deserve to be appreciated for all that that's taken.

Let's talk. I also think that Psychology Today profiles are weird to read.
But since you're here - you're likely here because something in your life, or the life of someone you love, might be asking for change. More clarity, more purpose, or a different way of being. Together, we can make space to explore that honestly.
I work collaboratively to help you understand your patterns, experiences, and what truly matters to you—so you can move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
I have a particular interest in supporting youth and adults in the arts who are working to bring their creative lives into focus.

Your brain won’t shut off. The intrusive thoughts, the rituals, the what-ifs, it’s exhausting. Maybe you’re constantly seeking reassurance, avoiding things that trigger anxiety, or stuck in mental loops that make no sense but feel impossible to stop. You know the fears aren’t rational, but that doesn’t make them any less intense. OCD isn’t just about cleanliness or order, it can latch onto anything, from relationships to safety to daily routines. If you’re feeling trapped by anxiety and compulsions, you’re not broken and you don’t have to manage it alone. There’s a way forward.

You are an individual. There is no one else quite like you. Your therapy should be as unique as you are. We are all the products of our past, from experiences that happened so long ago that they escape memory to what happened just as we opened the door to the present moment. Through it all, we learn the skills that protect us on this journey through the interpersonal world. We sometimes struggle to be our authentic selves because there is no SELF without the context of the OTHER. Each of us is a single being trying to be seen as we see ourselves in a never ending sea of often confusing but always important social interaction.

I provide a non-judgmental and open space where we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, working together to reduce distress and promote meaningful change. I also encourage nature therapy, helping clients reconnect with the outdoors to enhance their se

We know you’re great at getting through the day & holding it together. But the way you’ve had to cope by people-pleasing, overthinking, masking, pushing down emotions, & perfectionism is wearing you down. You’re anxious, exhausted, self-critical, filled with doubt. You scroll, eat, or drink to take the edge off. You tell everyone (and yourself) “I’m fine,” but you’re not. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy, but talking about your struggles hasn’t helped you truly heal. You feel stuck. And in a world that keeps piling on, you’re carrying too much especially if you’re always the one taking care of others. You don’t have to do this alone.

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.
