THERAPY FOR TRAUMA IN CALIFORNIA
Healing Rooted in Safety, Culture, and Self-Compassion
You have been carrying the weight alone for a long time.
You’ve been through things that changed you.
Maybe you’ve minimized it because “others had it worse.” Or you’ve spent years staying strong for everyone else. You’re high-functioning, responsible, and resilient — but underneath, you’re holding heaviness that won’t go away.
Whether your trauma comes from childhood, relationships, migration, or cultural pressure, it deserves attention. It’s not too late to heal — and you don’t have to do it alone.
YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO CARRY THE WEIGHT ALONE.
Trauma can harm your mind and body even if it doesn't put your life at risk.
Signs of Unresolved Trauma:
You feel emotionally numb or disconnected.
You overreact to small triggers but can’t explain why.
You struggle to trust others or let your guard down.
You overthink or replay the past often.
You feel like you're always in “survival mode.”
You carry guilt, shame, or a deep fear of being “too much.”
What is Trauma, Really?
Trauma isn’t just what happened — it’s how your body and mind had to adapt to survive.
It can come from:
Neglect or emotional absence growing up.
Being the fixer or caretaker in your family.
Discrimination, migration stress, or generational pain.
Toxic relationships or boundary violations.
Even if you “look fine” on the outside, trauma may still be stored in your nervous system — and healing is possible.
how i can help
Our work together will be tailored to you. We'll start based on your comfort level and therapy goals.
My Approach to Trauma Therapy
You don’t need to re-traumatize yourself to heal. Therapy with me is centered on slowing down, restoring safety, and rebuilding trust with yourself.
Together, we’ll:
Understand your trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)
Gently explore the root wounds and patterns
Learn nervous system regulation and grounding techniques
Reclaim agency, choice, and emotional clarity
Integrate mind-body practices that support long-term healing
My work is trauma-informed, culturally affirming, and client-paced. You guide how deep we go, and I follow with compassion, care, and clinical tools.
What to Expect in Sessions
In our 50-minute sessions, you’ll never be rushed. This is your space to process at your own pace, in your own language (English, Spanish, or Spanglish).
Clients often experience:
A growing sense of safety in their own body.
More self-compassion and less self-blame.
Better boundaries with others.
Freedom from the survival patterns that once protected them.
You don’t have to stay stuck in the past. Together, we’ll build a new future from a place of power, not pain.
Virtual and In-Person Trauma Therapy Across California
I offer online trauma therapy for adults throughout California, and in-person in Fresno. Bilingual sessions are available and warmly welcomed.

Common questions about Trauma
-
No. We go at your pace. You’re never required to relive painful moments unless it feels helpful. We can work with your nervous system and present-day patterns without retelling every story.
-
Yes. Those are real forms of trauma. My work honors lived experiences, ancestral resilience, and the complexity of holding multiple identities.
-
It depends on your goals and needs. Some clients feel relief within a few months, while others prefer longer-term work. We’ll decide together what feels right.
You Are Not Broken — You’re Brave for Surviving
Healing from trauma isn’t about being perfect — it’s about feeling whole again. You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to feel. You’re allowed to take up space and heal in your own way.
