I am a complex trauma specialist & EMDR Certified Therapist, trained in IFS. I help trauma survivors to heal brilliantly & unapologetically & to feel at home in their bodies. My healing style is somatic & some of my work looks like helping folx to breathe, to listen deeply to their whole selves & to develop more fluency with their hearts & bodies. I believe the best therapy will always invite your fullness into the room & that by working in the body & attuning toward our full selves we step into our healing. My approach is trauma-informed, anti-racist, queer/trans-affirming, neurodivergent affirming, fat/body positive & liberatory.

I enjoy helping people become the best version of themselves. My passion is working with student athletes, past and present, male or female. Athletes experience depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, stress, and pre-existing mental health conditions . Getting the help they need can help enhance their overall well-being and quality of life which could also help their performance in their respective sport. Some issues affecting student athletes are performance and perfectionism, burnout, meeting high expectations, fear of injury, returning from injury, pressure to go professional, performance anxiety, family problems, and team conflicts.

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.
