Our team offers trauma and PTSD therapy in Redondo Beach and throughout the South Bay, supporting individuals from nearby communities including Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, and El Segundo.

Trauma is approached with care for the mind, body, and nervous system—not just symptoms. Therapy is shaped to reflect each person’s history and the ways trauma can impact emotions, relationships, and a sense of safety over time.

Many clients benefit from a blend of talk therapy, EMDR, and mind–body practices. These approaches can help process unresolved experiences, reduce nervous system reactivity, and gently address patterns that keep trauma responses feeling present.

Sessions are available in person at the Redondo Beach office and online across California. Therapy is offered as a steady, supportive space to rebuild safety, strengthen resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

After trauma, the nervous system can remain stuck in survival mode, scanning for danger long after the threat has passed.
