Healing from Childhood Trauma Through Trauma Therapy in California
“As long as you keep secrets and suppress information, you are fundamentally at war with yourself…The critical issue is allowing yourself to know what you know. That takes an enormous amount of courage.

Trauma Doesn’t Always Look Like Trauma
Childhood trauma isn't always a single, dramatic event. It can be subtle, chronic, or buried under a lifetime of “just coping.” Maybe you grew up in a home where emotions were dismissed, boundaries were unclear, or love was conditional. You may have been the “strong one,” the fixer, or the invisible child.
These early experiences can leave invisible wounds—affecting your relationships, sense of safety, and ability to trust even in adulthood.
Why Trauma Therapy in CA Can Help You Break the Cycle
When talk alone isn’t enough, trauma therapy CA offers something different. Instead of just analyzing your thoughts, we listen to your body’s signals. In our work together, we bring in somatic approaches that help you feel, release, and rewire.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, emotional disconnection, or patterns you can’t seem to break, this therapy helps uncover how your nervous system has learned to survive—and how to teach it something new.
Somatic Therapy—A Body-Based Path to Emotional Healing
As a trauma therapist in California, I often meet clients who say, “I’ve done therapy before, but I still feel stuck.” That’s because trauma lives in the body.
In our sessions, we use somatic tools like Brainspotting, Polyvagal-informed techniques, and mindful noticing to locate where pain and protection live in your system. We’ll work at a pace that feels right, helping you reconnect with safety, presence, and inner strength.
You’re Not Broken—You Were Surviving
The behaviors you’ve used—numbing, perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking—are survival responses. Not flaws.
Together, we gently explore how these patterns were formed. We’ll map family roles, honor cultural expectations, and invite space for new choices. You don’t have to choose between being loyal to your family and being true to yourself.
What Trauma Therapy with Me Looks Like
You don’t have to “have it all together” here. Sessions are collaborative, warm, and often slower than you might expect—because deep healing doesn’t rush.
You’ll feel supported and truly seen. We’ll create space for your body to speak, your emotions to land, and your stories to be held—not judged.
