Trauma therapy · San Diego
Your reactions make sense in the context of what you’ve lived through.
For adults carrying childhood trauma, complex trauma, or relationship experiences that continue to show up in the present.
What may bring you here
Go beneath the surface.
You may look capable on the outside while feeling on guard, exhausted, or responsible for keeping everything together.
A different way to see the pattern
Sometimes perfectionism once promised safety.
Working harder, anticipating criticism, or taking care of everyone else may have helped you get through a time when support did not feel available. We can explore what those responses protected and what you need now—without making you feel broken for having them.
How we work
Depth, at your pace.
We choose an approach together, with attention to your history, your nervous system, and your capacity in the present.
EMDR
A structured approach that can help process distressing experiences when it is a good fit for you.
Somatic Experiencing
Notice how stress and protection show up in the body, and build more room for regulation.
Parts & attachment
Explore inner conflicts and relationship patterns with curiosity and compassion.
A place to start
You do not have to figure this out alone.
