"You are not broken. You are breaking through."
– Alex Myles
Trauma Therapy in Carlsbad, CA
When the past still feels present—it’s time to heal on a deeper level.
Maybe you can’t stop replaying something that happened.
Maybe you’ve never had a specific “event,” but your body still feels like it’s bracing for something.
Or maybe you’ve just always felt a little on edge, disconnected, or not fully yourself—and you’re tired of trying to push through it.
You’re not broken. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it was designed to do.
And therapy can help you finally feel safe again—in your body, your relationships, and your day-to-day life.
Trauma Isn’t Just About What Happened
It’s also about:
- What you had to carry alone
- What felt overwhelming, confusing, or out of your control
- What your nervous system never got a chance to process
Symptoms of trauma can show up as:
- Anxiety, panic, or chronic worry
- Emotional numbing or disconnection
- Shame, self-doubt, or people-pleasing
- Hypervigilance or overreacting to small things
- Trouble sleeping, feeling grounded, or feeling safe in your body
Whether the trauma was clear or cumulative, therapy can help you begin to shift from survival to healing.
My Approach to Trauma Therapy
I bring a grounded, trauma-informed presence to every session—and I always work at your pace. I’ve served as a dedicated trauma therapist at a residential trauma treatment center and have specialized training in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Schema Therapy, all of which are proven to support deep, lasting healing.
My approach combines talk therapy with brain-based and body-aware techniques to help move trauma out of survival mode and into real resolution. Depending on your needs, we might use:
- EMDR therapy (learn more here)
- Brainspotting (learn more here)
- Schema Therapy
- Narrative Therapy to help you explore and reshape the stories you carry about yourself
- DBT skills to support emotional regulation, grounding, and coping
- Mind-body tools and resourcing
- Longer sessions or short-term intensives (for deeper, more efficient progress)
You don’t have to know what approach is right for you. We’ll figure that out together—based on what feels safe, effective, and supportive for your system.
You Don't Have To Keep Holding This Alone
If trauma or emotional overwhelm is still running the show, therapy can help you feel safe in your own skin again—and finally move forward with more clarity and peace.

EMDR Therapy
Focused Therapy Intensives
Focused Therapy Intensives
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-supported therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and emotional patterns. Using bilateral stimulation—like a light bar or alternating sounds—EMDR helps you move trauma out of fight-or-flight and into resolution, so it no longer feels so charged or overwhelming.

For clients ready to dive deep, therapy intensives offer a focused, short-term option to process trauma and emotional stuck points more efficiently.
Using extended 100-minute sessions over 6–12 meetings, intensives create space for deeper work—without dragging it out for months or years.
Brainspotting Therapy
Focused Therapy Intensives
Brainspotting Therapy
Brainspotting (BSP) is a brain-body therapy that uses eye position to access where trauma and emotional pain are held in the nervous system. It works especially well for clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed by talking things through. Brainspotting can help you process trauma gently and deeply—often with fewer words.
Process what was. Find calm in the present. Shape what comes next.
