Due to the nature of this work I realize that suicidal ideation can be an issue. It is my priority to help you stay safe. I will do everything in my power to help you maintain safety on an outpatient basis. Sometimes this is not possible, and we will decide together if you need a more intensive level of care. If this is necessary, we can work with your insurance company to gain access to a behavioral health hospital.  If you are feeling unable to resist plans of harming yourself or others call 911 or go to the closest emergency room.  From there, please contact me .

If you are having an emergency you can also call 911 and request mobile crisis. Or call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255).
