How many of us have been there? Feeling stuck despite our best efforts causing emotional pain and fear that things will not change. How is it that our values that supposedly drive deeper meanings become lost or are sacrificed by pressures and demands outside of our control? I believe the first step in therapy is to create room for ALL of our thoughts and feelings and work to develop a new network of behaviors that allow us to be more present, more aware and to live more fully.

Are you ready to change your life? I help people uncover the strength and motivation that lie beneath familiar habits and patterns. Together we develop new ways of looking at your life and new choices for you. Yes, you need to be willing to bravely face things that are uncomfortable or stuck in your life, but we do that as just one part of turning problems into opportunity and turning opportunity into success. Anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship problems -- they are all experiences we have; they do not have to define you or stop you.

Do you feel hopeless from a past traumatic experience? Or do you feel like you're in a constant cycle of stress, anxiety, or sadness? Anxiety, depression, sadness, and stress can feel overwhelming, consuming, and hopeless. I work with people who want to explore their story and change this chapter in their life. I work with teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life adjustment, changes, and transitions, and individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse, or domestic violence. As someone who is Alaskan Native and Pacific Islander, I am passionate about working with BIPOC folks and other marginalized communities.

Therapy is about processing, healing, and making healthy changes in behavior.

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.
