Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or stressful and we can feel unsure about how to navigate through those next steps. Unfortunately, those feelings of stress and uncertainty don't discriminate based on age and even young children can feel the weight and effects of those challenges. My hope and goal is to be able to come alongside of you and join you and your child's support team as you learn to navigate those life stressors and challenges. I can provide counseling from a Christian perspective for those that are interested. I am client-centered and strengths-based.

Some of the concerns I have addressed with clients include self-harm, history of trauma and abuse, marital and family conflict, depression and suicidal thought, addiction and anxiety.
There are days when the fear feels so big that there is no room in your chest for breath. Some mornings, it seems like sleeping forever would be much easier than getting out of bed. It may seem like a herculean task to get through the day, or you may simply know that life can be better than it is. You wonder if you are worthy of happiness. Perhaps you think that your friends and family are tired of listening to your struggles or that support groups have not provided the help you need. You may feel the need for additional insight or for significant support in dealing with personal demons.

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.
