Trauma Therapy in Roseville

Online throughout California

Trauma may develop from a single critical incident or from prolonged exposure to high-stress environments. When unresolved, it can affect emotional regulation, thinking patterns, relationships, and overall functioning, often showing up as hypervigilance, emotional numbing, anxiety, irritability, or difficulty feeling grounded.

I provide structured, trauma-informed therapy that focuses on resolving the effects of trauma rather than repeatedly reliving past events. Treatment is paced to support nervous system regulation, safety, and stability.

My approach integrates Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Brainspotting, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ART and Brainspotting are brain-based methods that use eye movements and focused attention to help the mind and body process unresolved trauma, reducing emotional intensity while preserving factual memory. CBT supports this work by identifying and changing thought patterns that keep trauma responses active, strengthening emotional regulation and daily functioning.

Treatment is individualized, practical, and focused on resilience, clarity, and lasting change.
