If you are in immediate danger or might act on thoughts of suicide, call or text 9-8-8 now (24/7), call 911, or go to your nearest emergency department. This website and my inbox are not monitored for emergencies.

Many people live with thoughts of suicide, quietly, sometimes for years. Having these thoughts doesn’t mean something is wrong with who you are. It usually means the pain has outgrown the coping tools you have right now.

Therapy gives you a confidential place to talk about these thoughts openly, without being judged or rushed. We work together to understand what drives the pain, build a safety plan that is truly yours, and work on what makes life feel worth living.

What to expect

• An honest, calm conversation. Asking about suicide does not make it more likely.
• A personalized safety plan for hard moments
• Treatment for what sits underneath, such as depression, trauma, grief, substance use or relationship and work stress
• Involving your family doctor or supports only with your consent, except where safety requires otherwise, which I’ll explain at the start
