About CAMS
Beyond Survival: Building a Life Worth Living
The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is an evidence-based framework that treats suicidal thoughts with empathy, honesty, and collaboration. Together, we'll identify what's making life feel unbearable—the "drivers" of your suicidal thoughts—and develop a personalized treatment plan focused on building a life worth living.
CAMS is backed by 40+ years of research and is recognized by the CDC, Joint Commission, and the U.S. Surgeon General as a highly effective approach to suicide-focused care.
Approach
A Different Kind of Therapy
The suicidal thoughts you're experiencing aren't who you are—they're a response to pain that feels unbearable. In our work together, we'll separate you from the problem so you can see yourself more clearly.
Drawing from narrative therapy (Michael White) and the humanistic principles of Virginia Satir, I approach CAMS with deep respect for your inherent worth and wisdom. You're not broken. You're a whole person navigating impossible circumstances, and you already possess strengths that have kept you alive this long.
We'll sit side-by-side—literally and figuratively—using the CAMS framework to:
Name and externalize the pain
Identify what's driving your suicidal thoughts
Uncover the times you've coped differently
Recognize your agency in authoring what comes next
Build a stabilization plan that honors your complexity
This isn't about fixing you. It's about helping you reconnect with your own congruence, reclaim your voice, and write a story that feels worth living into.
