You aren’t “broken”—your nervous system is doing exactly what it was designed to do: protect you. If you’re exhausted from masking in a world not built for you or you’re feeling stuck in survival mode after past trauma, you deserve an affirming space where you feel truly seen and understood. If you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, memories, or difficulty communicating your experience, I am here to help. I especially enjoy working with LGBT+ folks who are formally or self-diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, and CPTSD. While I utilize a holistic approach, folks often seek me out for my experience with EMDR and IFS.

My clients are often the people who have spent years holding everything together while quietly struggling beneath the surface. They come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, burnout, shame, relationship challenges, or a persistent sense of being stuck. Many have learned to survive through people-pleasing, perfectionism, overachievement, or disconnecting from their own needs. Together, we explore the patterns that once protected them, build nervous system safety, strengthen self-trust, and create meaningful change so they can move through life with greater authenticity, connection, and ease.

Do you feel like you've never fully been able to put the past behind you, no matter how hard you've tried? Perhaps you find yourself making the same mistakes over and over or inadvertently repeating self-destructive behaviors, reacting in a way that doesn't fit with how you want to behave in your adult life. Or maybe you even have nightmares or memories that pop up on their own that feel as awful as it did the day that it happened. Do you ever feel worthless, ashamed, powerless, unsafe, or not good enough? If any of this feels true, you're not alone. I've worked with clients that experience this and more since 2009.

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.
