First of all the majority of people have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives. Addressing suicidal thoughts with a mindfulness approach, I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients to express and explore these feelings, helping them to observe their thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them. This practice encourages a sense of detachment from distressing thoughts, fostering a clearer perspective on life's challenges. I will walk with you through this and shift your focus from the challenges and overwhelm to being to see life in a hopeful way.
As a compassionate and trauma informed therapist, I specialize in providing a safe and understanding space for individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts. I approach each person with empathy and without judgment, recognizing the unique challenges they face. Together, we'll explore the underlying factors contributing to these thoughts and work on developing coping strategies and resilience. My goal is to provide unwavering support, empower you to find hope and purpose, and collaborate on a personalized path toward healing and mental well-being. You're not alone in this journey, and together, we can navigate through these difficult emotions
Confronting suicidal thoughts requires immediate, compassionate intervention. My approach provides a safe space for clients to express their feelings and work towards a place of hope and healing. Using crisis intervention techniques and safety planning, I support clients in finding reasons to live and coping strategies to manage their pain.

After volunteering with a crisis center I developed a passion for helping people find new hope while accepting life as it is. This requires us to acknowledge how suicidal thoughts are a normal part of the human experience, and how to move be ourselves forward finding our own personal power in the midst of severe odds. We move beyond safety planning to an exploration of how to move towards well being.
