Trauma & Sexual Trauma Therapy in Long Beach
You’ve been through something that ruined your safety and trust, and you’re tired of carrying it alone.
Your body, mind, or relationships still feel shaped by what happened—even if it was years ago.
You want to feel safe again, release what lingers, and finally move forward with peace and confidence.
You’re looking for a trauma therapist in Long Beach who truly understands and can help you heal at your pace.
Healing from What You’ve Been Through
When something painful or overwhelming happens, it can stay with you long after the moment has passed.
Maybe you notice it in your body—tension, panic, or feeling shut down. Maybe it shows up in your relationships—difficulty trusting, pulling away, or always feeling on edge.
Trauma can leave you feeling like you’re stuck in survival mode, even when you want so badly to move forward.
If you’ve experienced sexual trauma, those wounds can feel especially heavy. You might carry shame, guilt, or blame that was never yours to hold. Intimacy may feel complicated, or you might avoid it altogether.
Even years later, it can feel like your past is running the show.
You don’t have to keep living this way. Healing is possible.
Understanding Trauma and Its Impact
Trauma is not just about what happened — it’s about how your nervous system and body continue to carry the weight of those experiences. My clients often notice:
Struggling with sleep
Feeling “on edge” or hypervigilant
Either being irritable or completely shut down or numbed out
Difficulty being able to trust and with intimacy
Shame, guilt, or self-blame
Struggles with depression or anxiety
These are common signs that the nervous system is still in survival mode — and it’s not your fault.
What Trauma Therapy Can Help With
Trauma therapy is about creating a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to go through this alone. In our work together, we’ll gently begin to untangle how trauma has shaped your thoughts, feelings, and relationships—so you can start reclaiming your life.
Therapy for trauma and sexual trauma can help you:
Feel safer and more at home in your body
Lessen anxiety, panic, and triggers
Release shame and self-blame
Rebuild trust in yourself and others
Find a sense of peace and empowerment
My Approach to Trauma Therapy
Healing trauma is not about “just talking about it.” It’s about working with your whole self—mind, body, and nervous system—to release what’s been stuck.
I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help the brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their grip. I also integrate IFS (Internal Family Systems) to connect with and heal the parts of you that may carry fear, shame, or self-protection. Together, these approaches allow deep, lasting healing—not just temporary relief.
Most importantly, we’ll move at your pace. You’re in control of what feels safe to share, and I’ll walk alongside you with compassion and care.
Sexual Trauma Therapy in Long Beach
If you’ve experienced sexual assault, abuse, or harassment, it’s common to feel isolated or like no one could understand what you’ve been through. I want you to know you don’t have to carry this alone.
Sexual trauma therapy can help you:
Reclaim your sense of safety
Heal from shame or guilt that doesn’t belong to you
Navigate intimacy and relationships with more ease
Build confidence and self-worth
Feel whole again
You are not broken. What happened to you does not define you. Healing is possible, and you deserve support every step of the way.
