My service – Jungian analysis – covers your concerns about mood, relationships, sex and sexuality, creativity issues, compulsions, coping with change or loss, lack of passion, disorganization, or effects of neglect, abuse or trauma. Whereas counseling covers such concerns by aiming at rehabilitation, improved coping or solving problems in functioning, my service goes deeper, aiming at self-acceptance, clarity, balance and authenticity. We would boldly explore dreams, fantasies or whatever else your soul expresses, sensitive to cruel injustice within society, your work setting, your relationships and especially within your psyche.

Do you ever wonder why you’re not feeling great emotionally & can’t pinpoint the root cause exactly? I work from an emotionally driven place. What that means is together we will explore your feelings & peel away the layers until we figure out what is happening inside to trigger these negative emotions. My role in your journey through healing and finding your inner peace is to gain an understanding of where we are coming from and sort through the chaos and turmoil we feel inside. From there we can work our way up & create new beginnings with new positive emotions and gain a renewed sense of being, a renewed sense of purpose.

Working collaboratively, we will identify and explore unrecognized patterns of relationship. Our basic experience of the world is largely determined by the nature of these patterns. I can help you change these patterns, and in this way to discover new possibilities for living.

Do you sometimes feel at a distance from your own life and relationships, a loss of initiative and aliveness to your experiences? Or become overly involved, quick to feel anxious and overwhelmed? In an engaged, supportive and interactive working relationship, you and I can identify and build upon strengths, goals and values, lend force and action to your search for meaning and belonging, and resolve emotional struggles. For example, you may want to target a specific issue that will involve learning new skills or adjusting thought patterns and behaviors in a life management model.

We all have the fundamental need to grow into and express who we are meant to be. However, this natural process can be inhibited by our need to adapt to pressures of family and society, by trauma, or by seemingly unresolvable contradictions in our personality. The goal of therapy is to bring this latent process to life, and to make it more conscious. A good therapeutic relationship will help you to be more receptive to yourself and to notice and honor these inner workings.

Hi there. If you are seeking support for grief/bereavement, depression, or anxiety, or trauma, are suffering from relationship difficulties, are adjusting to motherhood or other significant changes, or if you simply feel like you need somewhere to unpack your burdens you have carried - let's chat. I accept you openly, all the shadows of yourself you try to hide away. Therapy is beautiful because it allows those parts of ourselves an opportunity to be seen but without judgment. And this in turn helps you to feel recharged again, while working toward healing and planning for the next steps.

When I work with adults, couples, families or children I believe taking a collaborative and introspective approach to treatment helps patients access their own wisdom and healing potential. We can often become disillusioned with ourselves or others as a result of deep pain, wounds, and burdens that we carry with us on a daily basis. For many of us, turning away or avoiding these difficulties is a natural reaction and attempt to cope with these struggles. Despite the temporary relief that may accompany this style of coping it often maintains extreme beliefs, negative feelings, and unproductive behaviors.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Maybe you have struggled with making sense of your childhood and you have reached a point in your life where you need help moving forward. I’m here to support you. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental. I want you to feel you can share what feels impossible, and perhaps what has weighed you down for so long time. I work with adults who have experienced childhood abuse and trauma and are ready to reach out for support.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists

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.
