You’ve done it all, checked all the boxes, molded yourself according to external standards but still find yourself feeling alone, unappreciated, unsupported, and unloved. As a therapist, I work with individuals who feel disconnected from their true selves due to past trauma, relationship struggles, or emotional challenges. My clients come to me seeking not just temporary relief but lasting transformation. My services will heal you deeply, find inner peace, and create meaningful connections in your lives. Together, we work to uncover the root causes of their pain and help them reconnect with their inner strength.

My therapeutic approach in my clinical practice is based upon an initial assessment of Client's core values, sense of meaning and identity . It is my experience that people of all stripes seek interior / spiritual balance. Assisting them in the areas that they identify as challenges; feeling overwhelmed, a want of vision and/or control, depression, grieving losses, stress, anxiety, or a sense of aloneness are areas where I can provide my expertise to help them along the path of healing, wellness, and purposefulness.

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.
