Additional experience with people who may have relationship discord or struggle with self-esteem and those in need of support developing a plan to implement change using a behavioral goal-oriented approach.
I have found success in working with those who experience trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, dissociation, self-harm, suicidal intensity, low self-esteem, and behavioural difficulties, with a particular interest in how trauma affects our nervous system.
Do you have a child that struggles to understand their own emotions? Do they feel stuck in a moment or feeling that they can’t move past? Has this stopped them from relating to and finding connection with the people in your life? Maybe your child has tried counselling before but found that talking alone didn’t bring the healing or relief they needed. The holistic approach of music therapy can help to overcome emotional pain, disconnect, and numbness, and can increase a sense of purpose in the world. My unique approach blends talk therapy with body-based methods of somatic and music therapy to support the body-mind connection.

In addition to therapy, I am a PhD Candidate with a research focus on youth mental health and suicide.
Accepting new clients - Are you or your child struggling and not knowing the path forward? Experiencing challenges is normal, but can be overwhelming. You do not have to do it alone! Often, having someone truly listen and assist us in unpacking our difficulties is what is needed to heal and move forward in the way we want to live. I believe healing happens best in a space where you feel valued, understood, and empowered with zero judgement. My approach is based on a few key aspects: relationships matter, a non-judgemental environment, a holistic and client-centred approach, cultural safety, and narrative/trauma-informed care.

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.
