You can change. I believe this because in my twenty years as a therapist, I've been inspired by the work of my clients to overcome grief, trauma and abuse. My years as a therapist have taught me that we are all resilient, we all have strengths and coping skills. My years as a therapist have also taught me that when we go through a crisis, or a series of crises, our coping skills can get overwhelmed.

Are you looking for a therapist that feels relatable and like a real person? If you're anything like I was when I first saw a therapist as a young adult, you crave that authenticity from your counselor. I promise to never ask you "and how does that make you feel?" with a straight face. Don't get me wrong, I *will* ask about your feelings, but I'm not into going through the motions and acting a role. Do you want to spend the time and effort it takes to get down past surface symptoms to the real deep work, to be able to live more comfortably in your own skin, to be able to feel your emotions, not just think them? If so, contact me.

As a proudly queer, 2nd generation Latina, part of my work is helping others like me rebuild a connection with cultures that may be at odds with their queerness in order to find acceptance and healing for themselves. I also enjoy working with folks going through transitional life stages, struggling with “adulting”, and navigating challenges in all types of relationships.

I was a middle school teacher for ten years. I enjoyed working with children and adolescents more than I did grading papers. I became a psychologist to help children and their families live healthier, more productive lives. I approach psychotherapy first from the perspective that insight into oneself provides then the power to choose and to change. If you don't understand what is going on, you are unlikely to make changes. Secondly, the power to change is enhanced by learning and applying better coping skills. Insight and tools provide a growth experience.

While many people come to me feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and defeated, seeking therapy for oneself is actually a sign of strength. It takes a lot to recognize a need for change and to take steps to follow through. In my practice I provide a comfortable, supportive atmosphere to explore alternative ways of living and coping with problems so that life can be more fulfilling and enjoyable. The opportunity to see individuals and families grow and feel better through the therapeutic process is the reason I love my work so much. In addition to providing therapy, I also conduct ADHD screenings and Bariatric surgery screenings.

Not feeling like your "usual self" but can't figure out why? Are you irritable, uninterested in your previously enjoyable activities, or disengaged from daily life? Is your mind replaying old scenarios or repeating "What if" questions and worrisome thoughts? Perhaps your current coping skills just aren't hitting the mark this time... Involved in a relationship where either you or your partner seem plagued by "trust issues", insecurity, and revolving arguments? Are you seeing changes in expressions of love and sexual interest or thinking "my significant other doesn't understand me?"

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.
