Therapy is the practice of a good conversation. Through an affirmative & confidential space, we can work together to navigate personal hardship, gain clarity into what's most important to you, how you make sense of the world, and what meaning you gain from it.

I have 30 years of experience working with individuals and couples. I like to tailor the therapy to the individual or couple, and welcome feedback about what's helping and what's not helping. For therapy to be successful, the client must feel heard and understood. Together we explore where the person is stuck and wants to make changes. We look at patterns in one's life, what is reinforcing the "stuckness" and how to make change more possible. It takes courage to embark on therapy but it's a challenge worth taking!

My focus is on healing the root cause of mental health struggles, prioritizing resolution over coping strategies and compensatory mechanisms. As a first step, I usually help my clients feel safe, understand how their life experiences affected them, and where their mental health struggles are coming from. In the following process, we may focus on fostering a secure connection (attachment) with oneself, discovering parts of the client's psyche that may be holding anxiety, pain, anger, or sadness, or other difficult emotions and guiding those parts towards intentional healing.

I work primarily with people of color, queer and trans folks coping with anxiety, depression, life transitions and relationship issues. I aim to help you tune into how you're truly feeling, while centering radical self-compassion. Healing and liberation come in many different forms and we will work collaboratively to understand your individual goals and needs. Ours will be an open space, free of judgment, to explore thoughts and feelings you may not otherwise have a place to address. One of the first steps toward healing is being seen and heard authentically and in our work together we will begin there.

I am a true believer that we are spiritual beings that are having physical experiences. At times, these physical experiences can cause us to feel detached from community with ourselves, our family members, and friends. This detachment can bring about feelings and emotions that are difficult to sit with. Feelings like sadness, worry, hopelessness, confusion, and emptiness. These feelings are normal and my goal is to create a safe space for you to find your way back to community through humanizing your experiences; to use your strengths along with the resources around you to make that journey seem more possible.

Sometimes our environments feel so loud that we adapt by living in a reactive state to what's going on around us, rather than attuning to what's within us. We can intellectually know ourselves and the world we want, but not emotionally embody ourselves and our desires. This can feel like a tiring loop that often manifests in depressive, anxious, and perfectionistic tendencies. We can change this! Learn how to relate to your emotions in a new way, where they support your ability to cultivate a fully alive life stemming from within YOUR mind-body-heart-spirit!

Self-compassion is a great buzzword, but it's easier said than done. Sometimes you have to avoid or fight feelings and parts of yourself. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, worn out or conflicted. Maybe you are not satisfied with your core relationships. This could be because parts of you are stuck in past experiences and those parts are using the tools they have (like avoidance, self-criticism, anxiety...) to protect you from more pain, even though these tools don't always serve you now. Together, we can welcome and get to know each part of you slowly and safely, and introduce new tools for coping and making change.

As someone in recovery from mental health challenges I've experienced it all. In being lost and finding my way back I've come to know the terrain you're navigating. In my years of counseling this has allowed for deeper connections and radical transformations. My professional experience has led to teaching other mental health professionals and guiding the transformation of a large hospital system. Whatever it is that you're facing, through my personal experience I might understand what you are going through and be in a unique position to provide what you need.

As we encounter challenges that impact our lives we shift and transform accordingly. It can be overwhelming and painful to work through these experiences on our own. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to step more fully into life through the process of integrating conflicting parts of the self, processing painful memories, and identifying harmful patterns in our relationships. I work with adults of all ages and experiences, and am attuned to the ways in which race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability inform our experiences. I specialize in working with clients struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use.

My approach is to help you understand your life experiences and choices, particularly those that create obstacles to greater fulfillment. This involves working collaboratively. For example, we may focus on recognizing habits of thought or behavior that lead to getting "stuck" (eg., avoidance, anxiety) and learn more effective ways of self expression and relatedness, which will allow for positive change. I offer the support and guidance necessary to be curious about yourself and open to thoughts and feelings that may be previously unexplored. As a clinician, I have worked in many diverse settings with people from all walks of life.

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.
