Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to keep going can be incredibly isolating. You don't have to face it alone. I am passionate about working with individuals who feel hopeless, have experienced trauma, or feel overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. I especially enjoy working with children ages 6 and older, middle and high school students, and young adults. That said, I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds and strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported.

Sometimes life feels, and is, harder than it looks from the outside. Old wounds show up in unexpected ways: through self-doubt, strained relationships, or just that sense of bracing yourself all the time. It’s exhausting, and even when things are “fine,” it can feel like you’re never fully at ease. Underneath it all is a desire for more steadiness, clarity, and a chance to actually enjoy life instead of just pushing through it. That's where therapy can make a difference. It can enable self trust and self worth that creates endless resilience.

For over 15 years, I’ve supported adolescents, adults, and families facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
My path to becoming a therapist is deeply personal. After losing my sister to addiction and my father soon after to what I believe was a “broken heart,” I experienced firsthand the profound impact of grief, trauma, and loss. Those experiences changed me, showing me how deeply pain can shape a life but also how healing can begin when someone truly listens and cares. Out of that heartbreak grew my purpose: to help others navigate life’s hardest moments with compassion, understanding, and hope for the future.

Hi, and welcome. For over 24 years I've had the privilege of witnessing people gain peace, and improve functioning through the therapeutic process. We've all suffered and spent our lives searching for peace. Peace is often found in those places we've been avoiding or unable to access on our own. Life does have a compass; it's within you, buried under all the programming, conditioning, and trauma. It takes courage, and a willingness to feel uncomfortable while looking at what's driving the suffering. The great news: You can significantly decrease the suffering in your life if you're willing to look directly at it using certain tools.

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.
