Dissociation
Dissociation is a natural response to overwhelming experiences—it's the mind’s way of creating distance when something feels too much to handle. It can show up as feeling disconnected from your body, your thoughts, your emotions, or even your identity. While it’s often a survival strategy rooted in trauma, it can become confusing or distressing when it lingers long after the danger has passed.
Dissociation is complex. My approach is grounded in deep respect for your nervous system's wisdom and a commitment to helping you build safety, connection, and integration—at a pace that feels right for you.
Healing from dissociation isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about understanding how you have learned to survive, and building trust with the parts of you that have needed to disconnect in order to cope.
Whether you are newly noticing experiences of dissociation or have been aware of them for some time, we begin exactly where you are, at a pace that feels safe and supportive to you.

In addition, I work with subclinical dissociative experiences, such as feeling disconnected from yourself or your emotions, “zoning out,” feeling unreal or detached at times, or experiencing difficulty staying present during stress.
