I do not provide traditional family therapy, where the primary focus is on treating family dynamics or relationships between family members.

However, when working with children, adolescents, and certain trauma treatments, caregiver or family involvement is often an important part of the therapeutic process. Depending on your child's needs and treatment goals, I may invite parents or caregivers to participate in portions of treatment to support skill-building, improve communication, strengthen safety planning, or reinforce progress outside of sessions.

In trauma-focused treatments, family involvement can help caregivers better understand their child's experiences, learn ways to provide support, and create an environment that promotes healing.

The primary client remains the child or adolescent, and any family participation is incorporated only when it supports their treatment goals.

All services offered in Massachusetts and Florida are solely offered online at this time. Services in Maryland are provided in-person, with the option for telehealth during approved emergencies. In order to participate in teletherapy, you must be in your residential state when logging onto your session. You must also have a private and confidential space as well as a reliable internet connection.

Many people worry that being honest about suicidal thoughts will automatically result in hospitalization. In reality, suicidal thoughts exist on a spectrum, and talking openly about them is often an important part of treatment.

My goal is to understand what you're experiencing, assess safety, and work collaboratively with you to create a plan that supports your wellbeing. Hospitalization is not the automatic response to suicidal thoughts. Instead, we focus on understanding the factors contributing to your distress, strengthening coping strategies, building support systems, and developing a safety plan when needed.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, I encourage you to talk about them openly. Therapy works best when we can have honest conversations about what you're carrying.

What is a safety plan?

A safety plan is a personalized, practical plan we create together to help you navigate periods of increased distress.

A safety plan may include:

• Warning signs that indicate you're struggling

• Coping strategies you can use independently

• Supportive people you can contact

• Professional resources and crisis services

• Steps to increase safety during difficult moments

The purpose of a safety plan is not simply to get through a crisis, but to help you feel more prepared, supported, and connected when things become overwhelming.

Do you provide crisis services?

I am not a crisis service provider and cannot provide immediate emergency support outside of scheduled appointments.

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, are unable to keep yourself safe, or require immediate assistance, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.

At the start of treatment, we will discuss crisis resources and create a plan for how to access support when urgent needs arise.

Can therapy help after a suicide attempt or psychiatric hospitalization?

Yes.

The period following a suicide attempt or psychiatric hospitalization can be overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally complex. Many people find themselves trying to process what happened while also adjusting to returning to school, work, family responsibilities, or daily life.

Therapy can provide a space to process that experience, strengthen coping skills, rebuild confidence, and develop a plan for moving forward. Recovery is rarely about returning to life exactly as it was before. Instead, it's about creating a foundation for greater stability, support, and wellbeing.
