Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Austin, TX
If you're reading this, there's a good chance you're someone who looks like you have it together. You show up, you handle things, you take care of the people around you. But underneath that, you might be carrying anxiety you can't quite name, a sense of hypervigilance that never fully switches off, or a quiet feeling of disconnection from yourself. Maybe you already know the word "trauma" applies to your story. Maybe you're not sure yet, but something in you knows it's time to look closer.

You know logically that you are safe, but deep down, your system has not caught up. You might find yourself living on autopilot, feeling detached from daily life, or managing internal conflicts where one part of you wants to move forward while another pulls back. When complex trauma is present, thinking your way out of it usually hits a wall.

I specialize in assisting my clients in the final resolution of trauma, developmental attachment disruptions; and significant disturbing events and abuse. I've designed an integrative method based on the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to neuro-physiologically strengthen the body for trauma processing; Brainspotting and EMDR training to systematically and intuitively identify and process to resolution the major issues and deeply seated sources of negative beliefs and negative self image. CRM and Brainspotting, brain based therapies, evolved out of EMDR and are highly effective for a broad range of psychological trauma resolution, performance blocks, ADHD, complex PTSD, substance abuse, etc.

The presence I bring into sessions comes from lived experience with severe traumatic memory/ amnesia and spending 10+ years on the client side prior to becoming licensed.
Do you feel out of sync with mainstream culture? Do you have non-ordinary experiences like voices or visions that are difficult to talk about? Having uncommon qualities and the capacity for depth and complexity can be difficult to navigate in our competitive, linear-oriented, results-driven culture. Knowing and accepting yourself for simply "you" (not who others think you should be) is an important practice to cultivate and will help release toxic stress and shame, allowing you to connect more deeply with yourself and others. Ideal clients are those seeking healing from abusive or toxic family dynamics, including RAMCOA.

Clients come to me with a loss of sense of self, difficulties in relationships (people pleasing, boundaries, communication, trust), and feeling unsafe in the world due to complex trauma/dissociation and neurodivergence. I help them transform deep pain into newfound strength, find passion in life, embrace their identities, build meaningful relationships with self & others while expanding beliefs on what is possible in this life. If you've already done years of therapy but still feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from yourself, or unable to make sense of your reactions, my approach is designed for that complexity.

I provide a positive and strengths-based approach to healing, and have skills and knowledge in working with trauma, child abuse, domestic abuse and sexual violence, dissociation, oppression, and stress. I have over twenty years of experience mentoring and supporting people living with: trauma and dissociation; disability and neurodivergence; and LGBTQ+ identity.

I specialize in work with clients who have complex trauma, DID/OSDD, Autism, and/or ADHD. My clients are often misunderstood by others and experience issues with self-esteem, critical self-talk, and shame. Neurodivergence often isolates my clients, creating environments that can lead to trauma and make it hard to connect with others. Trauma can show up in a lot of ways, with varying levels of dissociation, people pleasing tendencies, substance use, and much more. It can feel like wading through an ocean of complexity and struggle, without many others who can understand their experiences or see them for who they really are.

I approach my life's work humbly, even reverently, with deep sensitivity for what's got you even coming to see someone like me in the first place. I get that, really I do. And I'd love to help. I fit best with people who are okay with ambiguity and can "let the questions breathe," as we work on whatever has brought us together. I am able to see clients in Texas in person or virtually when you are in Arkansas.

I work best with people who have spent years surviving rather than living. You may struggle with chronic anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, shame, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting yourself or others, or feeling disconnected from your emotions or body. Many of my clients have experienced complex trauma or C-PTSD, even if they don't realize it yet. Together, we'll help your nervous system feel safe, understand the patterns that once protected you, and build a life guided by connection instead of survival.

I understand that it can be difficult to find a safe space to explore overwhelming emotions and the challenges that come with life’s difficulties. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I recognize the strength it takes to take that first step. My commitment is to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your healing journey.

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.
