Feeling out of control and overwhelmed? Like your brain is stuck on repeat: “Why me? Why am I like this? Why can’t I change?” Experiencing emotional responses that leave you feeling ashamed, misunderstood or that something is wrong with you? You find yourself in chaotic relationships, overcompensating to fill a void. Lost and alone in your journey and mentally and emotionally isolated from others. At the end of the day you feel hopeless about finding relief. I recognize that traumatic experiences are a spectrum that we each experience uniquely. I treat trauma from a relational approach and focus on nervous system (co)regulation.

Choosing a therapist can be tough, and first I hope you feel comfortable making use of my 15 min free consultation, without obligation. Helping you get started is a passion of mine, as my recovery process starting in 2002 changed my life. The difference between being feel stuck and trapped, and feeling free is more significant than I had any idea even when I started. I can share my experience, clinical or historical information about modalities, effective care patterns or just talk. Along the way, if there is a direction I'm happy to refer you to, or if you find interest in my offerings, great.

Do you feel a loss of meaning, pain from a difficult past, or feelings of anxiety and overwhelm? Are you struggling with relationship conflict or renegotiation? When people have experienced complex trauma—whether it is oppression, child abuse, painful relationships, or the struggle of being alive—they often lose trust in themselves and others. Therapy is an opportunity to rebuild trust, redefine your sense of self, choose your values, shift your relationship to the past, create a life of meaning, and build relationship safety. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ, neurodivergent/autistic/ADHD, poly, and kink communities.

Many of us feel like we are fighting several losing battles at once, often causing feelings of hollowness, sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety. This can make us feel like there’s no way to find our purpose or direction in life, impacting our relationships to others and ourselves. Navigating these struggles means more than addressing symptoms: we have to rediscover a sense of meaning. To do this, I blend together modalities that address trauma, identity, problem solving, and understanding our belief systems to best support the person from a place that is grounded and informed by their personal goals and priorities.

My therapy practice is dedicated to helping TEENS, COLLEGE AGE STUDENTS and YOUNG ADULTS through challenging times in their lives. This stage in life is such an important time in one’s development and it is easy to become overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed with all that life is throwing at you. I have worked with teens and young adults for over twenty years, and now as a trauma therapist I find there is a greater need than ever to give teens and young adults the coping skills needed to deal with the challenges and stressors they are facing on a daily basis. Some of my brightest young clients feel they are 'not good enough.'

“Family dysfunction rolls from generation to generation like a fire in the woods taking down everything in its path until one person, in one generation, has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to his ancestors and spares the children that follow.” — Terry Real. Taking a step towards therapy is an act of bravery. An act that can begin to open up space for healing in your life or in your relationships.

Hi there, I’m Janae. I’m a secular, non-binary Licensed Professional Counselor and my pronouns are she/they. If the internet (or someone you know) has sent you to my profile, my guess is that you’ve had to bury your real values and desires in order to survive. You’re depressed, anxious, angry, addicted, and probably fucking exhausted. Possibly in physical pain too. Or maybe just numb. I work with (mostly queer) folx recovering from religious trauma and other oppressive systems because I’ve been there myself - and I can tell you that there is a way out.

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.
