Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Houston, TX
Do you feel like you understand your patterns, your trauma, your grief… but yet your body still reacts? You still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. That’s because healing doesn’t happen through insight alone.
I specialize in LGBTQ+ issues, grief (including pet loss), childfree individuals, neurodivergent clients (ADHD and autism), and those navigating dissociation and complex trauma (including DID). As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand how differently the nervous system, sensory experiences, and executive functioning can show up—and how often therapy isn’t designed with that in mind.

Do you feel stuck? Are you tired of working so hard and feeling like nothing ever changes? As human beings, we are creatures of habit. The way we think, reason and relate are based on patterns that have developed throughout our lives. If you continue to think - alone - about your struggles, you'll likely remain stuck in the same patterns. As human beings, we are also relational creatures. We learn about ourselves when we are in relationships with others. It is essential for any person's growth and development to think - with - another person.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself? Do you find yourself trapped in negative patterns or caught in the grip of self-judgment, unable to break free? Do you feel like something isn’t right, or disconnected from your body or emotions, it can be hard to know where to begin. You're not alone—together, we can start the gentle process of healing and recovery.

I consider it a great privilege to help adults overcome the trauma of childhood abuse. Whether it be physical, sexual, and/or emotional in nature, the journey is difficult. I believe it is important to change fearful beliefs that others are to be mistrusted and that happiness is unattainable. Safe places are hard to find. I am diligent in creating a safe place in which a trauma survivor can heal. Sometimes the healing journey is long and painful. I am committed to "walk along beside" for as long as is needed.

Sometimes, adverse experiences can block us from accessing the inner strengths we have used to cope in the past. My passion is assisting adolescents and adults in recovering from life stressors and transitional life changes. From a trauma-informed perspective, I utilize both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to assist clients in their healing. I provide an open, safe, and non-judgmental environment and use a client-focused, strengths-based approach. My therapeutic style is empathetic and interactive as I learn about my clients’ strengths, the tools they have previously used, and what goals they wish to accomplish in therapy.

I work with couples seeking to cultivate more secure, fulfilling, and resilient relationships. My approach integrates the Gottman Method, secure attachment frameworks, Polyvagal Theory, and principles from cognitive-behavioral therapy to foster effective communication, emotional regulation, and relational safety... I also support individuals in strengthening their relationship with themselves, enhancing self-esteem, self-worth, and self-talk while promoting self-compassion and self-forgiveness. I help clients build the capacity to “feel and deal” by improving their nervous system responses and choosing better coping strategies.

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.
