CHILDHOOD TRAUMA THERAPY SERVICES

I’m a bilingual therapist who grew up in foster care and specializes in childhood trauma. If you’ve felt like therapy wasn’t built for someone like you—I get it. I’ve been there. Feeling misunderstood, judged, or unseen can make it hard to open up, but you don't have to keep carrying it alone. In therapy, there's room for all of who you are, your story, your struggles, and your strength. This is a space to lay some of that weight down and begin healing, at your pace. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, notice patterns, and develop tools to help you feel more aware, grounded, and in control. As a therapist for childhood trauma in LA, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to process painful experiences, rebuild trust, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

Childhood Trauma Therapist in LA

Many adults carry the lasting effects of childhood neglect, emotional abuse, or family dysfunction—often showing up as anxiety, depression, or difficulty forming healthy relationships. My approach helps you understand how these patterns developed and how to release the burden of your past. I integrate trauma-informed and evidence-based practices to support your healing at your own pace. Therapy can be the first step in reclaiming your story, and creating a life that feels grounded, connected, and whole.

If you’re looking for a therapist for childhood trauma in Los Angeles who truly understands complex trauma and cultural identity, I’m here to help.
