While I am currently in my final year of my Master's, I have practiced for three years as a Prevention Counselor, in which I counseled those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviors, low self-esteem, and addictions.
I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step in healing. My goal is to make the first and following steps less challenging. Knowing that healing starts within, I support clients in exploring their struggles, goals, and new ways to move forward that works for them. I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families overcome their life’s obstacles and hardships.

Teens, women, men, and couples can feel stuck, unfulfilled, and unsure about how to effect change. Many times, we look outside of ourselves for answers. My person-centered practice incorporates elements of ecotherapy, art therapy, play therapy, and yoga to create the space to gain the insight needed for change. I create a sense of safety and nonjudgement in a cozy environment, and I use this to guide clients to increase self-awareness, define goals, and establish practices to create change. I love to support clients who are either resistant to or tired of traditional counseling techniques.

We all reach a point where we need to ask for help. We search for a compassionate understanding of the challenge of living. This is not a weakness, but a strength. You may be facing loss, a relationship problem, a job or even your health. Someone you care for is harming themselves with drugs or alcohol. Simply, you are no longer willing to accept as what has been. You may think "no one understands me; I am tired of going it alone." I believe in a Client Centered, Results Oriented, and Positive yet Realistic approach to therapy.

Healing is a relational process in which therapist and client begin a journey of discovering the self through the therapist's creation of a place the client feels felt, seen, safe, understood, soothed, and secure. A womb is created in the room of therapy. This is a recreation of the mother-infant bonding and positive attachment that was lacking or inadequate. In this client-therapist relationship, healing is achieved through playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy.

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.
