I enjoy combining the Mind Body Soul connection in therapy to create balance in all areas. We often focus on our thoughts and actions and forget about our body and spiritual components. Being able to integrate all aspects of ourselves leads to greater healing especially if we have experienced trauma. Reconnection to the body is an important part of healing and learning to listen to what is is telling us. Spirituality is one aspect of therapy I enjoy most and helping others find their spiritual center along with aiding those who feel "highly sensitive" (empathic) in being able to function and thrive.

If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, eating disorders, addiction, trauma, etc art therapy can be just the thing to help. So, what is art therapy? The fancy definition is it’s a mental health profession that combines applied psychology with the creative process to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals. But art therapy helps clients to not only reduce stress levels and offer mindfulness techniques, but allows individuals to explore difficult feelings, resolve conflicts, develop interpersonal skills, achieve insight, manage behaviors, and increase self esteem.

I work with the over-stressed and over-whelmed who feel like somewhere along the way they lost control of things. Together, we explore how anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, over stimulation, (to name a few) in combination with carrying, the weight of the world can result in feeling out of control. There is no "typical" issue or "standard client", so there is no "standard session" either. I offer a space for people to vent, process, reframe, reset and most importantly, regain control. I offer a free consult to see if we match! Give me a call or schedule through my website.

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.
