THERAPY FOR COMPLEX TRAUMA & EMDR IN SAN FRANCISCO & ONLINE ACROSS CA

Make peace with your past.

If you’ve always felt like the weight of your past holds you back, you’re not broken; your nervous system is just doing its best to protect you.

You’ve been carrying a heavy weight for so long, and it feels like no one truly understands how much it’s taken out of you. Maybe you’re constantly on high alert, bracing for something to go wrong, even when everything seems fine. Or perhaps you feel numb and disconnected, as though you’re moving through life but not really living. Your past has shaped you in ways that can feel overwhelming, leaving you stuck in cycles of pain, self-doubt, or isolation. You’ve done your best to push through, but the hurt still lingers, making it hard to find the peace and joy you long for.

You deserve a space where you can be fully seen, heard, and understood—a place where your feelings are valid and your story matters. Healing from trauma isn’t about “fixing” yourself; it’s about creating safety within yourself and reclaiming the parts of you that have been silenced by pain. It’s about finding ways to reconnect with who you are beyond the trauma and to gently loosen the grip of the past. This process can feel daunting, but with the right support, it can also be deeply transformative.

Together, we’ll uncover a path that feels right for you.

Whether it’s through art, parts work, EMDR, or body-based practices, we’ll use tools and approaches that honor your unique journey. Healing happens at your pace—there’s no rush, and no “right” way to do it. You’ll build strength, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of possibility as we work together. You are not alone, and you don’t have to carry this weight by yourself anymore.

Here, you’re allowed to reclaim your voice, rediscover your worth, and embrace the real you.

My approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and connection because I believe that healing happens when you feel truly seen and supported. As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in helping people navigate the deep and lasting effects of relational trauma, spiritual and religious trauma, narcissistic abuse, and the challenges of growing up with alcoholic or dysfunctional parents. Whether your experiences involve neglect, emotional manipulation, or physical or sexual abuse, I understand how these wounds can disrupt your sense of safety, self-worth, and connection to others. Together, we’ll explore your experiences in a way that feels manageable and respectful of your boundaries, using tools like EMDR, body-based practices, and expressive therapies to gently process pain and rediscover your inner strength. You don’t need to have all the answers or know where to start—just showing up is a powerful first step.

Healing from trauma is not about changing who you are but about reclaiming your sense of safety, trust, and connection with yourself and the world around you. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, so you can move at your own pace. Whether you’re dealing with the wounds of neglect, the chaos of a dysfunctional family, the heartbreak of betrayal, or the confusion of spiritual abuse, we’ll work together to create a safe and supportive space for healing. I’m here to remind you that no matter how heavy things feel right now, there is hope. With the right support, you can find relief, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and create a life that feels more grounded, fulfilling, and authentically yours.
