Struggling with relationships? Is it difficult for you to love yourself, to connect with the present, to achieve your goals? Perhaps you just feel stuck overall and don’t know how to move forward from this place you find yourself in. "Stuck" can be a hard and lonely place to be - I want to help you. I believe that knowledge is power!

Everyone deserves support and encouragement to realize their strengths and work towards a meaningful life. Life gets overwhelming, and when you're feeling down, exhausted, and stressed out, you may feel less motivated to do the things you enjoy. You may also feel disconnected, both from yourself, and others in your life. If you're feeling this way, it probably brought you here. I know how difficult it is to reach out for support, so I hope you can take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate that you are taking this first step. I can't wait to speak with you more and see if we are a good fit. I offer complimentary consultations.

Do you ever feel like others are judging you? From the way you look, to how you dress? This feeling of being stared at, or like somehow you don’t ‘fit in’, can make your heart feel like it’s beating out of your chest. You may find yourself avoiding school or social situations because you feel overwhelmed by the fear of the unknown. Whether it’s the daily ride on the bus, a time of transition from the world of school into the workplace, everyone has challenges in life that can feel overwhelming. Looking for support is a courageous first step on your journey to feeling more confidence in yourself, and hopeful for your future.

Perhaps just getting through the day has been a challenge for you lately. More than ever, people feel anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about their tomorrow. As we go through life, we experience breakups, hardships, sickness, failure, and loneliness.

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 behavioural 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 behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour 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.
