Trauma Therapy
in Downtown Los Angeles and Online
For those who feel stuck in old patterns.
A space to feel safe, grounded, and present in your life again.
Trauma isn’t always one event, and it isn’t always only yours. It can come from what happened to you, from what you’ve witnessed or lived through alongside your community (violence, racism, sudden loss, political upheaval), and from what was handed down before you were born: a family’s silence, a migration, a history no one talked about.
You may notice it in your body before your mind: a startle response, a tight chest, a need to stay one step ahead, or a hard time resting. Nothing about how you’ve learned to cope is a flaw. These are the ways you learned to stay safe.
Trauma therapy with me is an opportunity to slow down. Drawing on IFS Therapy, we build steadiness first and you set the pace for anything harder, because the work doesn’t require reliving your worst moments or telling your story before you’re ready. Not just coping with what happened, but coming back to your body, your relationships, and your sense of choice.
A question you might find yourself exploring: When did I learn I needed to stay on guard? How old is the part of me that still believes it?
WITH TRAUMA THERAPY I HELP PEOPLE PROCESS:-
Process the toll of racism, discrimination, and microaggressions on your body and your sense of safety.
-
Make space for the grief and fear we carry together after loss and harm in our communities, especially when you’re the one holding it together for everyone else.
-
Work through how early experiences of harm or neglect still shape how you protect yourself and relate to others.
-
Name what was handed down in your family, the silence, the survival, the migration, and choose what you carry forward.
-
Navigate the fear, anger, and exhaustion of living through violence and political upheaval.
Trauma work with me is about making room for grief, connection, and agency.
WITH TRAUMA THERAPY, YOU CAN:Understand how your mind and body learned to keep you safe, and what those protective parts still need.
Build steadiness first, so you set the pace for anything harder.
Give grief and anger the space they need, and set down burdens that were never yours to carry.
Come back to your body, your relationships, and your sense of choice.
Trauma, anxiety, and OCD can show up together. If that sounds like you, we’ll decide together where to begin. For OCD and anxiety, I also use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
Whatever you’re carrying, there is space here for you.
