Trauma Therapy & HypnotherapyΒ in Los Angeles
Heal Emotional Wounds at the Root
Online & In-Person Sessions Available
You may look fine on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, anxious, reactive, or stuck in survival mode.
Trauma does not always come from one major event. Sometimes it develops slowly through chronic stress, emotional pain, childhood experiences, unstable environments, unhealthy relationships, loss, addiction, or years of feeling emotionally unsafe or unsupported.
Even when life moves forward, the nervous system can continue reacting as though it is still trying to protect you.
If you constantly overthink, struggle to relax, feel emotionally triggered, shut down, carry resentment, experience anxiety, or feel disconnected from yourself, there may be deeper emotional patterns underneath the surface.
This work is designed to help you gently begin healing those patterns at the root.Β
Trauma Can Live in the Nervous System
Unresolved trauma can affect the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and nervous system in ways that are often misunderstood.
You may notice:
β Constant anxiety or overthinking
β Emotional overwhelm or burnout
β Feeling emotionally reactive or easily triggered
β Difficulty trusting yourself or others
β Panic, fear, or hypervigilance
β Emotional numbness or feeling disconnected
β Low self-worth or negative thinking
β Relationship struggles or fear of abandonment
β Unhealthy coping patterns or addiction
β Difficulty relaxing, slowing down, or feeling safe
For some people, trauma may also appear through PTSD-related symptoms, emotional triggers, chronic stress responses, or nervous system dysregulation that continues long after painful experiences have passed.
Healing Trauma at the Root
Many people spend years trying to manage symptoms without understanding what is happening underneath them.
My approach focuses on identifying and shifting the deeper emotional patterns connected to trauma through hypnotherapy, subconscious reprogramming, emotional healing work, and nervous system support.
The goal is not simply to βcope better.β
The goal is to help you begin feeling calmer, safer, more emotionally connected, and more in control of your reactions, thoughts, and emotional patterns.
With over 15 years of experience in trauma healing, addiction recovery, anxiety support, and subconscious work β including over a decade as a clinician at Passages Malibu β I provide a compassionate and personalized approach designed to support lasting emotional change.
