It's natural to seek support. Maybe you're facing struggles in a particular area- your job, relationships, education, overall life goals, painful memories- or just feeling like life isn't measuring up altogether. While therapy can be challenging, it can be a positive investment in yourself if you are open and put in the effort. It may be a powerful tool to help you push further in the direction of what's most important to you.

My primary goal as a therapist is to assist you in achieving your goals and support you through any adversities that may come your way. Therapy is not a “one size fits all” approach—each client is unique and has different techniques that work and do not work to achieve their goals. I am passionate and dedicated to the mental health field, and I believe each client is more than their symptoms and should be treated with dignity and respect. I graduated with a BA in Psychology and received my MSW from the University of Michigan, where I specialized in the area of Interpersonal Practice with a concentration in Mental Health.

Our lives are a system made up of family, friends, biases, and life experiences. If one part of the system has fractured, the entire system functions incorrectly. As someone who didn't believe therapy could help me, I struggled with a spiral of bad decisions before seeking therapy as a last-ditch effort to "fix" myself. I'm thankful that I found therapy when I did - it saved my life, prevented years of heartache, and gave me purpose and direction. I want to work with you to create the best possible life for yourself. You deserve a life filled with healthy people, boundaries, and genuine joy. Let's find it together.

You wake up exhausted and dread facing the day ahead of you. Life feels heavy and everything seems like a burden. The anxiety or sadness you experience sometimes catches you unawares. It feels like you've tried every tool in your toolkit but something isn't clicking. You’ve had better days and you wish you could just make this feeling of angst go away. Trauma is a physiological response to a situation or event that overwhelms the body. As Peter Levine states “Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence”.

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.
