We support you in learning how to step out of your feelings and ground your life in the virtues. This becomes a stabilizing force in your life during those times when you just don't feel like it anymore and as we address the underlying pain that brought you to thinking about suicide in the first place, you will begin to heal and your emotions will recalibrate. Your hunger and zest for life will return.

Hailey is experienced in working with individuals that live with daily, chronic thoughts of suicide and has helped them come out the other side. Hailey has been successful in helping clients identify alternative problem solving strategies to life's challenges; increase coping skills to manage distress; and minimize the intensity, frequency, and duration of the unhelpful thoughts with the goal of working towards building a life that is experienced as worth living.
If suicidal thoughts are something common that you've been living with for a long time, then weekly therapy may be appropriate for you. The limitation of weekly, telehealth sessions exists when your thoughts begin to create a plan and you notice your hopelessness rising, along with more and more intent to act on the plan. While suicidal ideation can be unpredictable, and I am able to support you in finding the level of care you need, if the time does come, I do not start a therapeutic relationship with someone who needs more care than I can currently give through Zoom sessions.
I volunteered as a Hotline Crisis Counselor at Didi Hirsch's Suicide Hotline before graduate school. My skills and technique for facing crises continued to develop through school and client experience.
When you're not in crisis, we'll be sure to emphasize techniques of building safety in your environment, in our relationship, as well as within your own body during and outside of our sessions. We'll emphasize where you feel some sense of hope and purpose and give space for any and all the existing ambiguity.
