Therapy for Trauma Online in San Diego and Across California
You've been through something that’s changed you.
the world kept moving, but you FEEL STUCK.
Everyday life looks the same on the outside, but inside, you feel like you’re constantly scanning for danger, bracing for something else to go wrong. The smallest things remind you of what happened, driving past the intersection, seeing a certain look, hearing a sound, and suddenly your chest tightens, your mind races, and your body feels like it’s back in that moment. Even when you try to push it down, the thoughts creep in at night, stealing your sleep and leaving you drained before the day even begins.
And while part of you wants to “just get over it,” another part of you knows it’s not that simple. You might find yourself snapping at the people you love, withdrawing from friends, or feeling strangely disconnected from yourself, as though you’re watching life happen instead of living it. The harder you try to hold it together, the more exhausted and overwhelmed you feel, like you’re carrying a weight that won’t let up.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING THROUGH ON YOUR OWN.
This is your time to heal, find relief, and feel like yourself again.
Healing doesn’t mean erasing what happened, it means loosening its grip on your daily life. With the right support, your body and mind can begin to release the tension, calm the anxiety, and reconnect to a steadier sense of peace. You are capable of healing, and you don’t have to walk this path alone.

Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy for trauma can help you move beyond survival and step into a life that feels like yours again.
EMDR, Brainspotting, and Flash Technique are powerful trauma therapies designed to reach beyond talk and into the root of your pain. These approaches work directly with how trauma is stored in the brain and body, helping you process the memories, emotions, and sensations that keep you stuck in fear, anxiety, or overwhelm. In a weekly therapy setting, these methods can be introduced gradually, offering steady progress and consistent support as you build safety, resilience, and relief over time.
In an intensive format, we have the time and space to go deeper, allowing for concentrated healing without the stop-and-start of weekly sessions. EMDR helps the brain reprocess trauma so the memories lose their sting. Brainspotting uses your natural eye position to access and release what’s been locked away, often reaching layers that words alone can’t touch. And the Flash Technique provides a gentle way to reduce the distress of even the most overwhelming memories, making healing possible without having to re-live every painful detail. Together, these approaches can bring lasting relief, helping you feel grounded, connected, and free.
You are more powerful than what happened to you.
Strength and freedom are already within you, waiting to be unleashed.
What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where…
01 you feel calmer, more grounded, and in control instead of constantly on edge.
The tension in your body eases, and you no longer feel like you’re bracing for impact. You move through your day with clarity, responding instead of reacting.
02 you feel fully alive, connected, and free to live the life you choose.
Relationships deepen because you’re able to show up as your true self. Each day feels like an opportunity to live with energy, confidence, and peace.
03 you can tell your story and it no longer has power over you.
The memory is still part of your past, but it doesn’t control your present. You speak about it with strength, not fear, knowing it no longer defines you.
Healing is possible and I’ll help you get there
This may be a part of your story, but it doesn’t get to write your future.

FAQs
-
Yes. After a traumatic experience, it’s common to feel anxious, on edge, restless, or disconnected. Many people struggle with intrusive thoughts, trouble sleeping, irritability, or even feeling numb. These are normal responses to an overwhelming event, your brain and body are trying to protect you.
The good news is you don’t have to stay stuck here. With help, your nervous system can begin to settle, and those symptoms can ease. Healing is possible, and what feels unbearable right now does not have to last forever.
-
No, you don’t have to feel like this forever. Right now, it may seem like the pain, anxiety, or disconnection will never let up. But trauma therapy works with your brain and body in a way that helps release the grip of those memories. With EMDR, Brainspotting, and Flash Technique, the intensity of the feelings often softens. Over time, most people notice they are sleeping better, feeling calmer, and moving through their days without the constant weight of the event.
-
No. You don’t have to relive every moment of what happened in order to heal. Approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, and Flash Technique work with how trauma is stored in the brain and body, so you can experience relief without having to tell your full story or go into details you’re not ready to share. Therapy moves at your pace, and you stay in control of what you share.
-
That’s okay. You don’t need a perfect memory of what happened for trauma therapy to help. EMDR, Brainspotting, and Flash Technique can work with pieces of memories, body sensations, or emotions, even when the full story feels fuzzy or incomplete. Healing doesn’t depend on recalling every detail; it’s about helping your brain and body release the distress that’s still stuck.
-
Everyone’s healing journey is different. Some people notice shifts after just a few sessions, while for others it takes more time. Weekly therapy offers steady, gradual progress, while intensive sessions allow for deeper healing in a shorter window of time. What you can expect is a safe, supportive environment where we use proven methods to help your brain and body move toward relief and greater ease at a pace that’s right for you.

Trauma isn’t just “in your head,” it lives in your body and nervous system. EMDR, Brainspotting, and Flash are powerful therapies that work directly with the way trauma is stored, helping your brain and body safely process what happened.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their intensity and no longer trigger the same fear or distress.
Brainspotting uses your natural eye position to access and release the deep emotional and physical reactions connected to trauma, often reaching the places talk therapy can’t.
Flash Technique gently reduces the emotional pain of overwhelming memories without having to fully re-live them, making healing feel safer and more accessible.
Together, these methods calm the nervous system, lessen intrusive thoughts and body tension, and create lasting relief so you can move forward with greater peace and resilience.
