Therapy for Trauma & PTSD
TRAUMA THERAPY IN LOS FELIZ
You’re not overreacting. You’re responding to what your nervous system still remembers.
When survival becomes the default.
Post-traumatic stress doesn’t always come from a single event—it can stem from years of emotional neglect, boundary violations, or feeling unsafe in your own body. You might appear high-functioning on the outside while inside, you’re stuck in survival mode—anxious, numb, or constantly on edge.
Hi, I’m Emma!
You deserve to feel safe—within yourself, and in the world
Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, hyper-aware, or disconnected from your own body. Therapy provides a space to gently explore these experiences, understand your reactions, and begin to rebuild a sense of safety. You can learn tools to regulate your nervous system, set boundaries, and reconnect with your inner strength.
Feeling safe is not just a distant goal—it is something you can start experiencing here and now.
Therapy offers a space to gently process trauma and build new patterns of safety and regulation.
Work with your nervous system, not against it
Use trauma-informed approaches like EMDR and IFS
Rebuild trust in your body and your responses
Heal from shame, hypervigilance & emotional overwhelm
Move from just surviving to living fully and freely
How I Work
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and rooted in curiosity and compassion. I integrate modalities like
✓ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
to help you process stuck trauma and shift long-held beliefs
✓ IFS (Internal Family Systems)
to build a deeper relationship with your inner parts and restore self-trust
✓ Mindfulness and somatic practices
to bring awareness and regulation to your nervous system
✓ Attachment-focused talk therapy
to heal relationship wounds and reconnect with your core self
Together, we’ll move at your pace. Some sessions might focus on skills and tools for the present moment. Others might go deeper—gently exploring your past to understand how it shows up now.
