I am passionate about supporting individuals in their pursuit of finding understanding, connection, and self-compassion in their life experiences. I have committed myself to diversifying my education and approach to counseling through webinars, books, research, and conferences. I believe moments of our greatest struggle can also hold the most potential for growth and self-discovery. By giving ourselves a supportive space to explore the places that feel painful or stuck, we open ourselves to a wealth of information about our deepest desires, strengths, and wisdom. This makes it possible to live with greater self-compassion.

Life has its measure of joys and sorrows. In our modern society, it’s all too easy for the ‘sorrows’—stress and unhappiness—to outweigh the ‘joys’ in our lives. Maybe it’s our situation at home or an unfulfilling relationship. Perhaps our health took a downward turn or we lost our sense of purpose in a meaningless job. Life can place mountains in our path and our old ways of coping often stop working. But no matter how lost we feel in the bramble, we are capable of untangling ourselves and finding our way back to the light—to peace.

I work with adult individuals and couples in transition or crisis. When you are in a state of transition, some catalyst has occurred that has disrupted your sense of normalcy, security and satisfaction with your life and relationship. It may be an external change like a health diagnosis, loss of work, an affair, a death, or an internal change like a ‘mid-life crisis,’ or an increased sense of disconnection from your work or the people you love. This can be profoundly disorienting; you may experience symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. You realize that change is required, but it is scary and confusing. Where do you start?

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.
