Our mental health, like our physical health, requires care and attention. When we find ourselves experiencing thoughts, mood, or other mental health symptoms that interfere with our quality of life, therapy can be beneficial. It may provide us clarity, greater self-awareness, and help us cope in a manner that honors our values and who we are at our most true selves. I work with diverse clients of any faith or belief. My goal is to promote healing and improved resilience to successfully navigate difficult life transitions, LGBTQ+ concerns, complex trauma/PTSD, DID, grief, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and adapting to health issues.

Do you feel stuck? Have you experienced a significant loss or trauma in your life and are having a hard time moving forward? Does it feel like you can’t get ahead in life or relationships? I can help. I am experienced in working adults. Many clients have experienced complex trauma such as history of multiple abuses, childhood trauma and grief; grief and loss; other traumatic events such as single incident of abuse or accident, traumatic loss, divorce; depression; anxiety; or suicidal thoughts. Many clients want to find ways to get "unstuck" or cope with life's challenges.

Human beings are highly adaptable, but sometimes the ways in which we cope are maladaptive or counter productive. Oftentimes when we encounter adversity our natural instinct is to tough it out and hope things change. Sometimes that can lead to feeling stuck, helpless, or overwhelmed when things don't change. Therapy can help get you unstuck and back to living the life you deserve. My main areas of focus include complex trauma, PTSD, dissociative disorders, and attachment issues. I am Level 1 trained in IFS and trained in EMDR.

Welcome! I have spent more than a decade in trauma work and understand the arduous process to release the debilitating grip past trauma can have on a client’s present-moment experience. I recognize the profound courage it takes to look deeply within. I prepare my clients to find that invisible line between comfort and discomfort to set the foundation for lifechanging results and encourage them to live in their own authentic truth. Trauma healing looks different for everyone and I work side by side with each of my clients to design a path of healing that feels right to them.

I am most passionate about helping my clients recover and connect to their authentic self, helping them use that improved connection to heal and live more fully. Clients often need to find relief from fear, sadness, addiction, conflict, lostness. But lasting relief usually requires finding their true selves more fully. This may involve letting go of the anesthesia of addictions, overthinking and emotional disconnection, as well as shame and self-misunderstanding. Not everyone is ready or willing to do the deeper work that this requires, and that is ok. But as a therapist I am a better fit for those that are willing to try.

My hope for our therapy sessions is to be able to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel free to openly express yourself,.

I want to work with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, stage of life issues, grief, or other emotional concerns. I particularly want to work with men at this point in my career. I am also delighted to work with anybody who is interested in getting to the core of their issues, exploring those issues, and overcoming them together.
I ask that people be willing to look at themselves and work on assessing what they can control and what is their part (if any) of the problem. Perfection not required, just a willingness to try.

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.
