Experiencing feelings of detachment from reality or yourself? Dissociative disorders can be a complex issue. Let's collaborate to understand your experiences, develop coping mechanisms, and address any underlying trauma.
Trauma can live in the body unaddressed for a lifetime. It impacts every aspect of the person’s experience, from health concerns to psychological instability to insecurities in achieving life goals. Working through trauma is the single most important piece in establishing a more harmonious life perspective. Adults often can’t identify the source of their anxieties because it is buried in childhood experience. Or, they know the source, but addressing the impact of trauma has been elusive.
Whether you identify a single traumatic experience in your life or you experience the result through a highly strung nervous system, trauma can be addressed through working with the sensations of the body.
I was originally trained in Somatic Psychotherapy and have over 25 years of working with the language of the body. This is done through mindful observation of the body’s experience in the here and now and through expressive art and movement therapy as well as talking through the event itself. The resolution comes from a place of self-love and resiliency is built by building support in one’s life.
Through my advanced trainings in trauma and dissociation with the ISSTD, I have developed the passion and skills to assist people struggling with DID and other dissociative disorders. I understand the unique challenges dissociative disorders pose in day to day life. Using a variety of techniques, we will explore the origins of your challenges and work on tools to help with healing and coping with your struggles.
