Therapy for Suicidal Thoughts, Hopelessness, and Overwhelm
Online therapy for adults in North Carolina • In-person and online for adults in Puerto Rico
Have you started thinking, “I can’t keep doing this”?
Maybe you've imagined ways to escape—not because you want to die, but because you don’t know how to live like this anymore. When the weight of life feels unbearable, suicidal thoughts can become a way your mind tries to cope with the pain.
You’re not broken—and you’re not alone.
These thoughts are often a signal that something deeper needs care. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll identify the root causes of your pain and create a path forward that helps the suicidal thoughts quiet down—and eventually fade.
This is your space to reconnect with a life that feels worth living.
Why Work With Me
If suicidal thoughts feel overwhelming and endless, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face this by yourself. With years of specialized experience helping people just like you, I use proven, research-backed therapy that has helped reduce suicide attempts by 73% in military and civilian settings.
But beyond the data, I’m here to listen, to understand your unique story, and to walk with you as you find safer, clearer ways to cope. Together, we’ll build a personalized plan to quiet those painful thoughts and help you regain hope and control over your life.
You deserve a life where those dark thoughts lose their power — and I’m here to help you get there.
Understanding Suicidality
Most people who experience suicidal thoughts aren’t seeking death — they’re seeking relief. When emotional pain feels constant and overwhelming, the mind naturally looks for a way out. Suicidal thoughts can feel like the only escape when nothing else seems to help.
These thoughts are more common than many people realize. According to the CDC, more than 12 million adults in the U.S. report serious suicidal thoughts each year. Suicidality doesn’t discriminate — it can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or success in life.
If you've been wondering,
“What’s the point?” or “Would anyone even notice if I were gone?” —
you’re not alone.
These thoughts often emerge when life feels impossible to navigate, when shame and hopelessness cloud your future, or when everything feels like too much. But suicidal thoughts don’t mean you’re broken — they’re a sign that something deeper in your life needs care.
With the right support, it’s possible to shift from surviving to healing. Together, we’ll explore what’s driving the pain and create a path toward real relief, renewed purpose, and a life that doesn’t feel so heavy to carry.
My Approach
You don’t need to stay stuck in survival mode. Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s fueling your suicidal thoughts, not just try to manage the symptoms. I use Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) and mindfulness-based strategies that are designed to help you feel better, faster.
We’ll explore what’s beneath the pain: your story, your stressors, and the patterns that keep you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. You’ll learn how to recognize what activates the “suicidal mode” — those vulnerable moments that lead to spirals — and develop real-world tools to interrupt that cycle before it escalates.
I blend science and compassion to help you understand how your brain’s natural survival instincts can sometimes work against you. You’ll build skills to feel more in control, more grounded, and more aligned with your values.
In each session, we’ll practice and fine-tune strategies you can use in your daily life, so you’re not just talking about change, you’re living it. You deserve more than just surviving. Together, we’ll work toward a life that actually feels worth living.
Sometimes our darkest days shine light on our brightest future.

Taking Suicidality Seriously
Suicidal thoughts and behaviors deserve real attention, not fear, shame, or silence. While some situations may require hospitalization, most people can move toward safety and stability with the right outpatient support and a personalized care plan.
My role is to walk alongside you, helping you manage these thoughts without turning your life upside down. Together, we’ll create a strategy that prioritizes your safety and healing while honoring your responsibilities at work, school, and home.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Reaching out is the first — and bravest — step toward reclaiming your life.
