It's actually normal for people to be inquisitive about life and death - it's the great mystery. If you're going beyond this into planning, and fantasizing about how to kill yourself, pick up the phone now and call 911. Your life is precious, and there are so many connections that perhaps you have lost sight of. The pain will go away and it will change, but it starts by reaching out.

Suicidal thoughts are more common than you might think, and help exists.
Together in the therapy room we'll work to understand the source(s) of your pain and to develop a more gentle narrative about your past experiences. We will also help you develop stronger coping and regulation skills so everyday tasks don't seem as daunting or draining. Let's help you build hope for a brighter future. Don't wait. Regain control and find the support you deserve.
I see suicidal thoughts as an escape plan when life has become too unbearable. Working together to find new more sustaining and positive "escapes" to lower the unhappiness will be the goal.

As a licensed psychologist specializing in addressing suicidal thoughts and behaviors, I am committed to providing compassionate and effective support to individuals experiencing suicidal ideation.
