Do you find yourself acting in ways that don’t fit your values or beliefs or responding to situations in ways that seem irrational to you? Sometimes this is due to unresolved past issues and sometimes it is due to habits developed in previous life situations that are no longer useful but have not yet been changed. I can help you to get your heart and mind on the same page in order to move forward with your life goals. If trauma, depression, anxiety or chronic pain are in the way, I can provide tools to manage these and therapy to help heal the roots of these.

Life's difficulties call to us to craft a story for ourselves and not just any story will do. One-size-fits-all therapy runs the risk of oversimplifying problems, ignoring injustice and social context, and putting us in boxes. I bring 20 years experience to working with youth and adults in a way that values kindness, open co-created conversation, humility, storytelling, growing the strength of our own voices, and what it looks like to 'do justice' to ourselves and others. I am highly skilled at listening to the parts of the story that matter the most and I will work closely with your goals and interests.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Counsellors

How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?

Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like cognitive behavioral therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behavior therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.

Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?

Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.

Are there specific medications for dissociation?

There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom—which may include antipsychotics like aripiprazole, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or anti-anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines.

How often and how long are therapy sessions?

Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
