Many of the answers we need for healing come from within ourselves. I will work collaboratively with you to identify and remove obstacles that currently hinder you from accessing your inner wisdom and ability to heal.Because no two people are exactly alike there is no one therapy method that can address the needs of every person. To honor your individuality I utilize an integrative approach with emphasis from client-centered, strength based, mindfulness based and somatic methods. I am a level 2 graduate of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I am currently pursuing my certification in Sensorimotor Psychotherpy.

Therapy is a process that allows for healing and awareness. I practice heart-centered hypnotherapy along with other holistic practices. These experiential practices provide a gateway to release stuck traumas, which ultimately create the habitual patterns that may not be serving your higher self. You can rediscover your personal power and learn how to internally resource, seeing all the choices available to you when challenges in your life are happening. In committing to this process, you can step into your own energy and reclaim your authentic self.

By beginning your search for a therapist, you have already begun the therapeutic process. What do I mean by that? Well, your treatment begins with you. Your questions about why you feel a certain way - be it worried, sad, angry, confused, and so on; why you repeat the same problematic behaviors; why you keep having the same troubling thoughts - these questions that you have matter. Perhaps you find that in many aspects of your life you are the person that you want to be more of - clear thinking, content, successful - but you find that in other aspects, you struggle for reasons that cause worry and don't make sense to you.

The gift of therapy is an opportunity to feel different. Maybe to gain a felt sense of joy, peace and contentment. What does that mean? Many may have tried “talk therapy” alone. Although “talking” through life experiences can be helpful, it is often discovered that there is a felt sense to the issues that words cannot get through alone. Often resulting in not feeling better. The basis of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is that along with talk therapy it incorporates identifying where the feeling is physically located and more importantly, somatically felt. How the body is responding to the actual memory.

People are hostages of their unremembered past - past attachments, traumas, deprivations and coping strategies. Many of these strategies were necessary for survival and adaptation in the past, but later they became useless. When later in life the unremembered past is repeated, it limits a person's freedom, creativity and happiness. One usually needs help with understanding and undoing these old, repetitive and often ineffective strategies aimed at dealing with anxiety and life.

You want a therapist who is passionate & loves people, who has multiple, not singular experiences, who believes in therapy enough to go themselves. I go as preventive medicine. Originally from NYC, have always had friends, associates, relationships with persons from every culture. This has been extremely valuable in developing my clinical skills and ability to understand and help a wide variety of people from various backgrounds. The next invaluable contribution to my clinical skills is my Mother, Elizabeth, who taught me, "Everyone I know knows something I don't." This makes every single person of unique intrinsic value.

The therapeutic relationship creates a unique space for patient and therapist to explore and uncover new possibilities for growth and change in areas that are of importance to the patient. I work collaboratively with patients to dislodge and free up deeply-embedded patterns of behavior and ways of relating to others that can keep us stuck and prevent us from moving forward, from achieving important goals, and from developing satisfying relationships that are nurturing and sustaining. Relationships are central to my work with patients, whether working individually, in couples therapy, or in a group.

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.
