I believe that each individual must be met “where they are at” and should have a space to speak freely without fear of judgement or punishment. While I do put a major focus on each individual, I also recognize that today’s social climate has an influence on our mental health.

I have worked with clients of all ages and with different circumstances, including those with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, sexual identity issues, and personality disorders, among other challenges. In my experience, clients come out of the experience feeling a sense of relief, as though a weight has been lifted off of their shoulders because someone finally sees and understands them! That's what I want for everyone who steps into my office - I want them to be seen, heard, understood, and loved.

You're tired. Tired of suffering in silence from a history of trauma, a stressful life, crippling anxiety and depression. You're tired of feeling like you can't quite get close to anyone because trusting yourself and others is hard. You're tired of feeling low, stressed, overwhelmed, overstimulated, and like no matter what you do on your own you can't seem to find a way to feel better. Your tried and true coping skills just aren't working for you anymore, and you can't think of new ideas for coping. Any hobbies you used to enjoy, you can't seem to get into anymore because they don't bring your the joy they once have.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor, and an EMDR Certified therapist. My area of focus is Trauma, Depression, Sexual Abuse, Anxiety, PTSD, and Social Anxiety. When I first started as a new therapist in a busy private practice, I quickly realized that most of my clients had suffered some form of trauma in their lives that was keeping them stuck. I trained to be a counselor because I truly wanted to help people overcome their past. As I came across more and more clients struggling with their trauma symptoms, I started to look around for ways to better prepare myself to help the population I served.

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.
