I approach the delicate issue of suicidal thoughts with deep compassion and understanding. I recognize the profound pain and despair that can lead to such thoughts, enveloping one's existence in shadows. My commitment is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where these feelings can be expressed and explored with sensitivity. Together, we will work to uncover and address the underlying issues, fostering a renewed sense of hope and purpose. It's a journey towards healing, where each step is taken with care and the ultimate goal is to rediscover the light within, illuminating a path away from despair and towards a life filled with meaning and connection.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe that many people have had, at some point, suicidal thoughts due to societal pressures. Each person is different in their thoughts, beliefs, and desires. I do not believe in the desire to keep someone alive for the sake of life alone, but rather that it is my job to help someone cultivate a live a life worth living without judgement.
