In May 2007, I graduated from California State University with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and shortly after, earned a Master’s of Science degree in Counseling, emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy. I began my career as a therapist working with juvenile offenders and youth who’d been diagnosed with severe mental health issues. I quickly recognized that many adults who were tasked with raising these troubled youth were struggling with issues that prevented them from being active caretakers. As a result, working with hurting adults became my passion.

It is a vulnerable thing to seek help and an act of courage. My experience has been with adults and adolescents. I have experience assisting men and women with acute Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, and Eating Disorders. My experience does encompass family therapy in addition to couple's therapy. I have worked with at risk youth that struggle with ADHD, ADD, Autism, Oppositional Defiance, Addiction, Conduct Disorders, Anxiety, and Mood Disorder with and without psychotic features. I know that I can help allow me to prove it even if it comes in the form of another referral.

First of all, I am so glad you are here! I recognize the incredible courage it requires to take the first step and reach out to a therapist. Life can feel overwhelming, complicated, confusing …. But there is hope. You deserve a space to feel seen, accepted, and understood. While there are times in life where you may’ve had to shrink away from emotional or physical pain or fear, I believe healing comes from reconnecting with those places in our body, mind and heart that hold pain. The parts of us that are wounded need attention and love to heal. I will empower you to access the resources you have within yourself.

Self-Harming Therapists

How does therapy for self-harm work?

A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.

Which therapies are best for self-harm?

Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.

Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?

Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
