Trauma Therapy & PTSD Treatment in Walnut Creek, Lafayette & Online Across California

If you’ve experienced trauma—whether from a single event, ongoing abuse, or years of difficult experiences—you may feel stuck, on edge, or disconnected from yourself. Even when life looks “fine” on the outside, inside it might feel like you’re still living in the past.

You are not broken. What you’re feeling is a normal response to overwhelming stress. With the right support, healing from trauma is possible—and you don’t have to go through it alone.

I provide trauma therapy, PTSD and Complex PTSD treatment both in-person in Walnut Creek, CA, Lafayette, CA and online across California. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered as you recover.

Understanding Trauma and Its Impact

Trauma can result from many experiences, including:

  • Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse

  • Car accidents or natural disasters

  • Medical trauma or chronic illness

  • Loss of a loved one or complicated grief

  • Childhood neglect or abandonment

  • Exposure to violence or high-conflict environments

You might be living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma (C-PTSD), or symptoms that don’t fit neatly into a diagnosis but still deeply affect your life.

Common signs of trauma include:

  • Nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive thoughts

  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or on high alert

  • Avoiding people, places, or situations that remind you of the event

  • Feeling numb, disconnected, or “shut down”

  • Struggling with trust and relationships

  • Difficulty sleeping or relaxing

My Approach to Trauma Therapy

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma. I use evidence-based treatments such as:

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) – supports healthier thoughts, coping skills, and emotional regulation

  • Somatic and mindfulness-based techniques – help calm the nervous system and reconnect with your body

  • Psychodynamic therapy – explores how past experiences influence current patterns and relationships

Together, we’ll:

  • Create a safe space for your healing at a pace that feels right for you

  • Gently process and release the grip of painful memories

  • Build tools to manage triggers and emotional overwhelm

  • Reconnect with your sense of self, safety, and trust

What Healing Can Look Like

Recovery from trauma doesn’t mean forgetting the past—it means the past no longer controls your present. Many of my clients find that over time they:

  • Feel calmer, more grounded, and less reactive

  • Sleep better and have more energy

  • Experience healthier boundaries and relationships

  • Trust themselves and others more easily

  • Feel joy, hope, and self-confidence return
