Complex Trauma Therapy in California—EMDR & IFS

Available Statewide Online. In-person or virtual in San Francisco

You have done enough reading to know that what you are carrying is not just stress or anxiety. Something happened—or kept happening, and it shaped the way you move through the world in ways that feel hard to explain and harder to change. You may have tried talk therapy before and found it did not quite reach the deeper layers. You are ready for something that works.

I am a licensed psychotherapist offering specialized trauma therapy to adults throughout California via telehealth. I work with complex trauma using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems)—two evidence-based, effective approaches for healing the kind of wounds that do not respond to insight alone.

Who I work with

My clients are often high-functioning adults who appear to have it together on the outside—successful in their careers, capable in relationships—but privately struggle with emotional overwhelm, a persistent sense of not being enough, difficulty trusting others, or patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard they try to change them. Many have experienced childhood neglect or emotional abuse, relational trauma, invalidation or lack of support around neurodivergence, or years of chronic stress that accumulated into something that feels woven into who they are.

How we work

EMDR helps the nervous system process and release traumatic memories that remain stuck, so they lose their grip on your present-day life. IFS helps you understand and work with the protective parts of yourself that developed for good reasons — but may now be keeping you from the life you want. Together, these approaches go where talk therapy often can't.

Sessions are fully online and available to anyone in California—whether you are in Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, or anywhere in between. I also have limited in-person availability in San Francisco.

My fees are $285 a session for individuals/$325 for couples or pairs. I do offer a few sliding scale slots.
