Dissociation can develop as a way of coping with experiences that once felt overwhelming or unsafe. I provide a trauma-informed space to better understand dissociative experiences, increase grounding and present-moment awareness, build safety and stabilization, and gently explore the experiences underlying these patterns at a pace that feels manageable.

Dissociative identity disorder is associated with overwhelming experiences, traumatic events and/or abuse that occurred in childhood. Dissociative identity disorder was previously referred to as multiple personality disorder.
Symptoms of dissociative identity disorder (criteria for diagnosis) include:
The existence of two or more distinct identities (or “personality states”). The distinct identities are accompanied by changes in behavior, memory and thinking. The signs and symptoms may be observed by others or reported by the individual.
Ongoing gaps in memory about everyday events, personal information and/or past traumatic events.
The symptoms cause significant distress or problems in social, occupational or other areas of functioning.
In addition, the disturbance must not be a normal part of a broadly accepted cultural or religious practice.
With appropriate treatment, many people are successful in addressing the major symptoms of dissociative identity disorder and improving their ability to function and live a productive, fulfilling life.
Treatment typically involves psychotherapy. Therapy can help people gain control over the dissociative process and symptoms. The goal of therapy is to help integrate the different elements of identity. Therapy may be intense and difficult as it involves remembering and coping with past traumatic experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy are two commonly used types of therapy. Hypnosis has also been found to be helpful in the treatment of dissociative identity disorder.
There are no medications to directly treat the symptoms of dissociative identity disorder. However, medication may be helpful in treating related conditions or symptoms, such as using antidepressants to treat symptoms of depression.

Sterling Heights is Macomb County's largest city and home to one of the largest Chaldean (Iraqi Christian) communities in the United States, as well as significant Arab-American, South Asian, and Eastern European populations, making it one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Michigan with correspondingly diverse therapy needs. Culturally competent and Arabic-speaking therapists are in significant demand, particularly for clients navigating immigration trauma, intergenerational family conflict between Chaldean community norms and American culture, and the mental health challenges of communities that have experienced significant displacement and loss. Henry Ford Health System and Ascension hospitals in the area provide behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves those who can access it. Common therapy concerns include immigration and displacement trauma, intergenerational family dynamics, acculturation stress, anxiety, depression, and the complex identity challenges of communities maintaining strong cultural and religious traditions in a new country.
