I am certified in the areas of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), motivational interviewing,EMDR, and suicide intervention and prevention.
I believe therapy should be tailored to what each individual client needs and should be a collaborative process in which clients find their ability to empower themselves and find ways to make positive changes in their life. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, judgement free place where my clients can explore their lives and experiences to better understand themselves and their goals. I believe in applying a direct, integrative, and inclusive approach helping my clients identify their goals so I can support them on their journey to achieving them.

Complex trauma isn’t a diagnosis, but rather a concept that describes how chronic upsetting, dangerous, and humiliating experiences impact people during childhood. Whatever happened to you matters! Your life experiences will never be trivialized in the therapy space that we create together. "Trauma necessitates survival strategies, but what we need to survive in any given moment may not be the same things that we ultimately need to heal". (T. Zimmerman)

You know you want to get rid of those feelings but talking to friends, aimlessly scrolling social media, ignoring it or maybe even using substances haven't been quite effective.

Welcome! Starting therapy takes courage, but you are worth it! We often get stuck in negative thought patterns, communication breakdown, or navigating a difficult stage of life. These can prevent us from moving forward and living the life we desire. Present problems frequently have their roots in past experiences. Understanding this connection allows us to create awareness and facilitate acceptance and healing. A client once told me that "therapy is like creating a painting of all my experiences, thoughts and feelings. It was then that I could see the beauty and the struggle - my strengths and areas where I needed to grow."

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.
