Are you noticing the same patterns showing up in your life and relationships—no matter how much you try to change them?
At some point, insight alone isn’t enough. You may understand why you do what you do, but still feel stuck repeating it.
I work with adults who are ready to go deeper than surface-level coping. Together, we look at how your past experiences, family dynamics, and internal patterns are shaping your current life - often in ways that are hard to see on your own.

I have been in the counseling profession for over 40years. I still look forward to meeting new people who desire to change and have the courage to share their personal life with me.

I view the counseling/coaching process as one of collaboration with the counselor/coach and client to identify the client’s strengths and issues to work on. I believe therapeutic coaching relationship is the primary tool in facilitating personal growth.

I see patients in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis who are interested in depth-oriented work to foster significant change in one or more areas of their lives. Working collaboratively, I help patients to free up and liberate the parts of themselves that feel stuck, sedimented, or otherwise lacking in vitality, creativity, and potential. I work with adults individually as well as couples. I also offer relationally-oriented group psychotherapy.

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.
