I have a down-to-earth, non-judgmental approach to therapy. My hope is to put people at ease when they are working through issues that are deeply personal and difficult. I'm comfortable talking about sexuality, drug use, abuse, suicidal ideation, relationship issues, and conflicts with religion, etc. I like to help people increase awareness of themselves and others and to increase their ability to connect to what is important to them. I use EMDR, Sand Tray Therapy, and DBT to support clients connecting to their emotions, learning from experiences, and creating a life worth living.

You try so hard to be good. You love in big ways but might not feel loved. New challenges come, and perhaps you endure without peace or joy. You sometimes find a temporary escape in ways that only make you feel worse. You want to discover your strengths and grow those strengths until they eclipse the things you believe are wrong with you. You want to change in ways that are bigger than your circumstances. You want to learn to feel loved and endure in new peaceful and joyful ways. You want to thrive in the face of challenges.

My office will be a space where you can feel comfortable and safe. Therapy requires vulnerability and sitting with discomfort. With me, you'll receive a lot of compassion and support. My expertise in processing trauma, as well as the coping skills I can teach you, will benefit your life in a positive way, if you choose to implement them. Do you ever have “big” reactions to things that don’t necessarily fit the situation? Does it get in the way of feeling confident in yourself or your relationships? That is an exhausting experience.

Are you stuck in a picture you created as a child? A picture with children and a blissful relationship? As women, we strive for the "what should be". Sometimes those pictures need to contain fluidity and movement and morph into something that we never expected. Many women experience infant loss, infertility, child loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and don't know where to go, who to ask, or if something might be wrong with you. Some women experience the trauma of the NICU life, a medical termination, and so much more.

I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals and families recovering from trauma, living with chronic illness, working through relationship concerns and facing the challenges of mental illness. Taking the first steps to heal is often difficult, or even painful, however in doing so we can create a "path with heart" and meaning. I take a mindfulness based, goal oriented and active approach to therapy with focus on developing critical life skills.

Suicidal Ideation Therapists

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 behavioral 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 behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior 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.
