In life's whirlwind, finding a sanctuary for respite and inner peace can feel like a distant dream. You might be questioning your worth or wondering if anyone else shares your feelings.

Whether you're striving to unleash your full potential or seeking ways to foster family well-being, you've found a supportive space here.

Let’s be honest - life can get pretty messy. It’s full of things like change (ugh!), other humans and events out of our control. Maybe you're having a hard time, and you don't even know "why". Maybe your relationships are stressful. Maybe society’s “-isms” (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.) are affecting your well-being. In therapy you get to decide what is important! I get the honor of walking with you as we figure out how to help you cope, manage, grow or heal. As a queer person, I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ folx. I provide a safe & affirming space to explore all facets of yourself/your life.

It can be so easy to feel uncertain, powerless and out of control, whether that be in our relationships with others (or even ourselves), our current responsibilities or the outside world. Maybe you’re attempting to navigate a major loss or sudden transition in your life; maybe you find it difficult to advocate for your needs, or find yourself living to work, attempting to find meaning in the daily grind. Maybe you’re yearning for connection with others, or just find it difficult to get out of bed; attempting to navigate this terrain by yourself can seem insurmountable.

Each experience of therapy can be unique. Maybe you’re navigating big life changes or want support to increase self-awareness and growth or you’ve noticed that difficult experiences from your past still affect you and need help to find healing. Maybe you feel alone and confused, struggling to find your spiritual or life path after being hurt. We can work together to find the best approach for your needs. I truly believe that you are the expert in your own life, so I approach therapy in a collaborative way, using careful listening and support to help each person listen to their own inner guidance and make full use of their strengths.

Change is a major source of stress and life is full of change. I believe one of the most helpful applications of therapy is to help clients deal with the changes they experience and incorporate them into their lives-children growing up and leaving home (the client might be the parent or the child), relationship changes, job-related change, dealing with death, or any other changes that challenge you. I offer a safe place to express your feelings about the changes in your life and strive to be a non-judgmental companion through that process.

Most of us humans have experienced trauma or simply too much stress. Thoughts, body sensations, and images/memories/dreams can cause more emotional and physical pain--and vice versa. To get rid of these unwanted things completely may be expected goals; but to diminish and manage them with less pain or tension is more realistic. To be understood by others, to feel more safe, to feel supported, to receive usable feedback and new ideas--these are goals I will surely help any client experience. Somatic Experiencing facilitates clients in moving forward, at their own pace, building more resilience self-acceptance and confidence.

Life problems can seem insurmountable. Solutions exist, but sometimes we become stuck and struggle to see another way.

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.
