Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Folsom, CA
I am trained in EMDR to help trauma & PTSD symptoms.
Interactions with a loved one can bring out the very best and worst in us. If the dynamic with your partner or child/teen is a repeated source of pain, I am here to help. Instead of trying to understand each other, most make accusations & get defensive. I help couples and families to uncover feelings driving their interactions and reactions and then teach communication skills to help them transform the way they relate and connect. I truly believe that a loving and supportive relationship/family is one the most amazing gifts we can give to ourselves, children, and loved ones.

We offer a way out for clients who have lost hope of healing from traumatic experiences, negative self-beliefs, and destructive behaviors.
Our Center helps anyone suffering from unresolved trauma or disturbing experiences. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, insomnia, hyper-vigilance, restlessness, rage, exhaustion, fatigue, or dissociation. We exist to alleviate the profound suffering of those who have been traumatized in childhood or adulthood. Trauma is often not healed from talk therapy alone. We use cutting edge trauma modalities that access your primitive brain where trauma is stored. Through this, you will release the trauma and all of the physical issues that go along with it, and graduate with a freedom you have never known.

I specialize in evidence-based therapies for anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks, grief, and adjusting to complex life changes - such as medical diagnoses including peri/postpartum concerns.
We are all experiencing life: the good, the bad, and the painful. Whether we are chasing lofty goals or responding to complex responsibilities, stress and frustration broach our lives and create dysregulation in our bodies. This physiological dysregulation can lead to anxiety and depression, significantly impacting daily life. As William James stated, “The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.”

Transformation is a process, and to have support integrating the pain into the depths of your soul, is a gift of connection. Soul to soul.

It is common for difficult emotions, stressful relationships, and trauma to keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns.
Too often we find ourselves accepting that living means tolerating disconnect and chronic dysfunction within ourselves and our relationships. We even find creative coping mechanisms which serve us well in managing the dysfunction… until they don’t. We may wish to grow or heal but are unsure of where or how to begin when we feel overwhelmed with what life has thrown at us. Life does not have to continue this way, we just need the right support and guidance to begin making real change.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
