Connect with a compassionate trauma therapist in Sunnyvale, California. I want to begin by saying thank you for your courage in seeking help to address trauma. I offer telehealth appointments in California and see individuals in person at a Sunnyvale location. I am the therapist to go to when you are seeking trauma-focused therapy for adults. I specialize in therapy for complex trauma, childhood trauma, phobia treatment, PTSD treatment, therapy for sexual trauma, and therapy for emotional trauma.
Maybe the relationships with your parents or siblings are okay now, but there are things that they or you no longer talk about. You may still love them but find yourself feeling resentful, hurt, and in pain.
Your partner or you want intimacy but the past sexual trauma is getting in the way, impairing your ability to feel safe physically. Most days, you feel numb, avoid how you feel inside, and even resort to self-medicating. You struggle to be fully present at work and rather feel triggered by your colleagues and managers or in the meetings where you must show up. You grow quiet, try your best to avoid them, and constantly question your ability. I help individuals attend to their relevant memories, emotions, physical sensations, thoughts, and pain while being there as a safeguard in the therapeutic space.
It is not just a reflection that you do in talk therapy. You can really feel it in your body and take yourself back to where it started and become empathetic toward yourself. You do not have to deal with your pain alone. You will have me as a guide through the challenges to overcome your trauma. You will experience a beautiful process in the transformation of your traumatic memories with a compassionate perspective.
Regular talk therapy may get you started in opening in therapy. However, it may quickly turn into venting about your week with a repeated pattern of issues that never seem to go away. EMDR Therapy, whether in person or online, offers a trauma-focused approach to address the issues directly.
