I believe everyone innate worthiness. Unfortunately, our lifetime experiences may cause us to feel otherwise. I believe we all have the capacity for greater self compassion, healing, and finding fulfillment in our lives. Once our burdens feel lighter and we begin to let go of old stories about ourselves, we can live more fully as our intrinsic selves . I am trained in Natural Processing, certified in EMDR as well as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and EquiLateral EMDR.

I understand why there has been a recent rise in anxiety and depressive symptoms for many people of all ages. Major events and unexpected life changes can cause a significant amount of stress and anxiety. Stress can make us feel out of control and overwhelmed physically, mentally and emotionally. Things from our past can start to impact us more in our present. Relationships can seem more challenging and trusting ourselves almost impossible. Every person is different and when you take a closer look at every aspect of your life with help from an objective support it can help you see things more clearly and offer ways to cope.

I was involved with the first randomized controlled trial in North America for Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) which is a three session therapy developed in Europe with the goal of reducing future risk for individuals that have experienced a suicide attempt.
I have spent over a decade in community mental health clinics which has allowed me the opportunity to interact with the many different ways human suffering can show itself. I have interest in hearing your story and working to understand what made our paths intersect. I want to help you understand what’s behind your suffering and work together to help you get back to what matters in your life. I have particular interest and background with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (well suited for sleep issues).

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.
