I'm Jessica, a trauma therapist, and I help people just like you: ones that have it within themselves to significantly reduce distressing anxiety, but just need the support to get there.

I help my clients find relief, clarity, and empowerment by equipping them to process traumatic memories in an adaptive way and to navigate challenging situations more skillfully.

Many of today's solutions for trauma therapy are drawn out, leading so many to feel dependent on their therapist or like they're not making any real progress.

I know your circumstances are unique, so every step we take is tailored to you and always with your end goals in mind.

​FIRST - We examine current triggers that are causing irritability, emotional numbness, and difficulty expressing emotions.

 

THEN - We work on the coping skills to help you manage distress.

 

THROUGH OUR WORK TOGETHER - You'll improve communication, boundaries, and intimacy in your relationships.

I AM DEDICATED TO HELPING PEOPLE FEEL LESS ANXIOUS AND DEPRESSED.

My expertise in EMDR Therapy means I have what you need to no longer be defined or limited by your past traumas. At the end of the day, you want to know you're working with someone who gets what it means to be suffering with anxiety, depression, or self-destructive behaviors, right? emdr therapist california

I get it because I've lived it myself. I know that sometimes everything is too overwhelming.

 

So when we work together you won't just get a expert therapist, you'll get someone who truly understands what you're going through. emdr therapist san diego
