I am honored to play even the smallest role in supporting individuals to make positive changes and to reach their goals for improved mental health and wellness, processing stress and trauma, and managing and reducing suicidal thoughts.
My area of expertise is in stress- and trauma-related symptoms, namely posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and suicidality. Stress and trauma can shift our entire worldview and our sense of safety and trust, our confidence and competency, and sometimes makes us feel we no longer 'fit' where we used to. This can effect every aspect of our lives. I will serve as a sounding board, to help identify your "why" and your "what," to access and troubleshoot any roadblocks along the journey, then provide strength-based, trauma-focused support to reach your specific goals and help you to build a life you truly want to live.

Hey there! Glad you are here. Searching for a therapist can feel like an overwhelming process, and I'd love to help make it easier. I work best with issues related to trauma, some including anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, abuse, self worth, etc. You may be telling yourself that you aren't good enough, capable, or loveable because of your life experiences. I admire the courage and vulnerability it takes to make the first steps towards healing amidst those heavy narratives, feelings, and experiences. I am here to walk that path with you, help you accomplish your goals, and find whatever healing looks like for you.

No matter how strong or resilient, there are times in each of our lives when we need some outside help. Whether it's getting out of bed, learning how to set boundaries, fostering self-compassion, changing toxic habits, finding inner calm, processing past or current trauma, or anything in-between, therapy can be a powerful and helpful resource. Your challenges, needs, and goals are likely a combination entirely unique to you, which is why you deserve an individualized and collaboratively created treatment approach as you navigate the often overwhelming process of improving mental health.

There are moments in life when change comes swiftly catching us by surprise. We wake up and question who we are, wonder if we ever trusted ourselves, or ruminate on our every decision. Whether it comes by divorce, betrayal, death, a cataclysmic change in beliefs or other transitions in life, we are no longer the same after these events. We often discover we want more: more authenticity, more love, more alignment, more healing, more truth. Counseling can be a place to come home to yourself while you wade through the pain of change. I hope to offer you the empathy that can only come from lived experience rebuilding my own life.

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.
