I have done extensive work w/ people experiencing suicidal ideation and self-harm & am passionate about meeting people in their most difficult, vulnerable moments.
My practice exists to assist teens and adults who want to change the way they relate to themselves and to the world following trauma. When caregivers or peers caused us emotional harm, rejected or abandoned us, placed us in adult roles at a young age, or were even verbally/physically abusive towards us, this can drastically impact the way we feel about ourselves and relate to others. This may look like suppressing our feelings, compulsive caregiving/people pleasing, co-dependency, avoidance of intimacy, experiencing chronic shame and a harsh inner critic, etc. We may even feel that there is something inherently wrong with us.

I work with teenagers who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts related to their relationships or family.
Your teenager has suddenly turned into someone you don’t recognize. They're arguing more, having trouble in school, or finding it hard to make or keep friends. They oscillate between being withdrawn and explosive. Sometimes, you feel like you're parenting a werewolf. You know being emotional is typical for teens but deep down you worry that your kid might need some professional help. You may even suspect that they're hurting themselves and hiding it from you. You know they're a great kid with a lot to offer and it's hard to watch them struggle through low moods, poor self-esteem, and stress.

As a licensed therapist in both Virginia and Florida, with a background in suicide intervention, trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, substance abuse treatment and PTSD work with victims of trauma, military personnel, law enforcement, and survivors of domestic violence and/or sexual assault, I will work alongside you, towards healing and wellness.
The goal of every client who comes to treatment is to resolve the existing crisis or trauma, manage anxiety, reduce depressive and other symptoms, and return to a state of being that better reflects their optimal functioning. Clients who come to therapy are arguably the best suited to tell us what their needs are and where the gap exists between their needs and goals for their best life. Living with grief, loss, anxiety, PTSD, psych ache, relationship distress, trauma (including racial trauma), rejection, and mood disorders takes a toll, not only on everyday functioning but also on self-esteem, self-efficacy and self-care.

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.
