I consider myself experienced in working with young women with anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues concerning identity/sexuality. I have eclectic experience as a therapist having worked with men and women ages 7 and up on concerns including breakups and divorce, intimate partner violence, anger, and self esteem. Though I enjoy working with most populations, my passion lies with helping survivors of emotional abuse and sexual trauma rediscover their identities and learn to trust themselves as their own greatest ally. I also hope to help survivors develop a positive view of their bodies, sex, and sexuality.

As a parent of a struggling teen/ young adult, you often wonder what can be done to help them feel better. You have tried many things yet there has been little to no lasting improvement. Your child’s personality has changed, they have challenges with relationships, their interests have decreased and you worry that things might get worse. You know that your child has great potential to do great things but the way things are going, their future looks bleak. Seeking help can be scary, because you want to make sure that your child has someone they can talk to but feel like even this step is risky.

In the balancing act of our energetic, emotional, spiritual, and psychological spaces, we often find ourselves struggling to produce the desired outcomes. We fight the transformational opportunities and trade them for outdated mindsets. We find ourselves repeating life lessons and losing inspiration along the way. What is the purpose? What is your meaning? Why do you persevere? Our internal motivations are responsible for our behaviors, but many of them are imbedded in the subconscious in need of a surface boost! With insight, we may heal.

I understand how stressful life is and how incredibly difficult asking for help can be. In my nine years of working in the counseling field, I have learned that it is essential that the people I work with feel comfortable talking about the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that are negatively impacting their quality of life. I embrace the ideals of patience, empathy, understanding, and the absolutely essential element of humor to help people overcome the obstacles that keep them from achieving their goals.

You matter! This tenet is central to the work. For 20 years, this is what I have been passionate about helping folx to realize, intellectually and actually in their day-to-day lives. Life is a series of events (great and small), associated emotions, and responses. These make up our diverse lived experiences. But how do we make sense of them? For some, how do we recover from them to go on to live the lives we desire? In the past, I have also worked with families and groups. These days, I find beauty in continuing to work with individuals to co-create a safe-enough space for clients to explore vulnerability and find their voices.

Life is full of challenges, and while we often navigate them with ease, there are moments when we feel stuck and unsure of how to move forward. This sense of being stuck can evoke a range of difficult emotions, such as anxiety, worry, anger, self-doubt, sadness, or depression. Sometimes, these emotions can feel overpowering, controlling our actions and decisions. Do you find yourself struggling to take the next step, overwhelmed by anxiety, or yearning to regain control of your emotions? If so, I can provide the support you need to achieve these goals through therapy.

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.
