Although I have worked as a therapist/counselor for awhile, my focus during the past decade has been working with teens, young adults, and their families. These courageous humans have often sought guidance from anxiety and depression caused by various traumas, family or relationship stress, social isolation, or transition issues. I believe that our happiness is primarily based on how effectively we navigate our relationships (family, friends, love, work, community). Life presents us with frequent obstacles to our happiness that we sometimes need assistance resolving.

No one is spared the trauma of life itself. But, life can also be full of unspeakable beauty, joy, and genuine love. While life can be unforgiving, there are ways of being that can deal much more effectively with what surrounds us. By reorienting ourselves and processing that which haunts us, true change can take place and we can begin to see and enjoy beauty in the midst of suffering, grow in gratitude for life itself despite its harshness, and live virtuously even during trials. These fruits are not born out of naivety but are born out of genuine wrestling with our existence.

Sometimes you go through an experience and it completely changes your life, and sometimes all the little stresses add up to one huge obstacle. Either way, nothing feels as good as it used to, and you constantly find yourself trapped in the past or worrying about the future. You deserve a life that's free of constant emotional turmoil, and therapy can be a way to process unwanted memories, emotions, and thoughts. I won't promise you that the entire process of therapy will be easy, and I won't tell you that I can fix you; you are not a problem to be solved. What I can do is move alongside you as you shift toward the life you want.

In a world that encourages the creation of a chaotically tough exterior, I want to work with you to find your strength in peace and softness. Being vulnerable is often very scary, but bravery is defined by facing your fears, not by the absence of them. It is my goal to provide a space where you feel safe enough to tap into your own power and help you cultivate the assertiveness needed to create a life of your design, something we all deserve but rarely give ourselves permission to have.

My clients enter into a therapeutic relationship with me often because they never learned how to listen to or love themselves. Many of my clients live with a harsh/distracting internal critic that pulls them out of the present moment and into chronic experiences of suffering. They might even live with or love others who echo or add new fodder to this already cruel inner-voice. My clients begin therapy because they want more out of relationships - with themselves, with others and with the world.

The people I love to work with are people who often feel left out, struggle identifying who they are, want to learn how to more effectively communicate and those who understand that therapy is messy. We will both say the wrong thing sometimes and that's okay. The issues I love supporting people with are struggles with emotion regulation, relationship skills, processing attachment struggles, un-enmeshing from family, and more. I am a queer, millennial with ADHD - this forms who I am and my work. It's important to me to partner with others based on who they are and to make space for their unique needs.

Self-Harming Therapists

How does therapy for self-harm work?

A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.

Which therapies are best for self-harm?

Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.

Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?

Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
