Trauma-informed therapy for Christian moms struggling with overwhelming emotions, past wounds, and relational stress, Licensed in Washington and Iowa.
Do you struggle with feeling burnt out from giving to others: family members, friends, even the church? Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and question your worth outside of what you give to others or accomplish? Have you ever wondered if you deserve better: to be happier, to have an inner sense of calm or peace that your value and worth does not come from what you accomplish or how you are able to serve others, it comes from within, your God-given identity.

Therapy can be such a gift to oneself. A moment to pause and reflect amidst everyday life. A safe space to release emotion and work through old wounds. A place to explore areas of growth and build new habits. I believe that each person holds the answers for themselves, inside themselves but we often get lost in the clutter. I offer a supportive and compassionate space for you to sort through that clutter and let go of what no longer serves you in or for you to live as your most authentic self. "Tell Me, What Is It You Plan To Do With Your One Wild And Precious Life" -Mary Oliver.

Dealing with life can be difficult without adding the struggles of anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. When dealing with these challenges sometimes we can feel as if we will never be able to get to the light at the end of the tunnel. These struggles can lead to relationship issues, feeling as if you are lost, or like you are just spinning out of control. I want you to know that you do not have to go through life with these feelings. We can work together to help unpack the issues you are struggling with.

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.
