While ABFT is specifically designed for suicidal and depressed adolescents, I utilize some of the attachment principles, in addition to other structured strategies from family therapy to navigate a variety of types of relational ruptures and estrangements that can occur, even into adulthood.
I believe that every client deserves the safety and security that connected relationships have to offer. To that end, my approach to therapy involves finding ways to cultivate emotional safety, not only in the therapy room but also in the context of the relationships where people live their lives.
All clients, whether they be individuals, couples, or families, come into therapy as part of a web of interconnected relationships that impact their day-to-day lives. By addressing client concerns in the context of all of these interconnected pieces, we can more fully address the stressors of everyday life and identify solutions together.

Depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, trauma and relationship issues can hinder your growth and success.
So much of your progress and satisfaction with therapy comes from the therapeutic alliance. While a therapist may be qualified with credentials, education and experience, your satisfaction is largely dependent upon the relationship that exists between you and me. It is important to me that you feel heard, validated, and understood.

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.
