Hi, and welcome. I am a queer and trans neurodivergent counselor offering virtual sessions in Maryland and California. I counsel LGBTQIA adults who are autistic, plural, and/or survivors of childhood abuse. We usually address issues related to complex trauma, DID/dissociation, and gender identity. Clients sometimes report feeling alone in current relationships or not knowing why they do things. Maybe once effective ways of protecting yourself are now preventing the connection and growth you want. I value getting to know you, learning your strengths, and identifying skills that support you in seeking safety and healing.

“I’m responsible. I’m not good enough. I’m a burden.” These messages replay in your mind during conflict, in relationships, at your job, or in your day to day. These thoughts make it hard to set boundaries in your family or relationships, pursue your interests, passions, or personal goals without guilt, or feel connected to your emotions. These core beliefs developed throughout your life but they do not have to define your present.

It's been my life's work to help people know themselves and make better decisions about their lives. I'm happy to see anyone, with the will, integrity, and courage to open up and work on themselves in depth.

I know how hard it can be to reach out for support, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to start. If you’re here, it likely means that a part of you is ready for change, and I want you to know, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I am a trauma-trained therapist working with clients and other clinicians. My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through genuine connection and that therapy should feel like a compassionate, collaborative relationship rather than something clinical or distant.

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.
