Online Trauma Therapy for People Who’ve Done the Work and Want Relief
Insight matters. But healing happens when your nervous system feels safe enough to change.
You’ve Done the Work. So Why Does It Still Feel This Hard?
You understand your trauma. You’ve read the books. You know the language. And yet your body still reacts before your mind can catch up.
Emotional intensity shows up out of nowhere
Shame and self-doubt return even when you “know better”
You want calm and connection, but your nervous system stays on guard
This isn’t a failure of insight — it’s a sign your system needs safety, regulation, and clarity, not more pushing. Trauma healing doesn’t come from forcing change. It comes from understanding what’s happening and responding with steadiness.
That’s where our work begins.
Trauma Therapy, Delivered with Gentleness and Clarity
I provide trauma therapy online for adults who are ready to move beyond survival mode and into a more regulated, grounded way of living.
Using a thoughtful blend of EMDR therapy online, IFS therapy online, and trauma-informed approaches, I focus on helping your nervous system settle, your inner world make sense, and your sense of self strengthen — without rushing or re-traumatizing.
This work helps you move from emotional chaos to clarity, from self-criticism to self-trust, and from constant hypervigilance to a felt sense of safety.
In-Person Therapy
In-person trauma therapy supports trauma healing through a calm, relational space where your nervous system can slow down, settle, and feel supported. Currently available in San Diego, CA.
Online Therapy
Trauma therapy online makes trauma healing accessible wherever you are, offering consistent, regulated support to help your body and mind feel steadier over time.
A Therapist Who Understands Trauma — and Knows How to “Go Slow to Go Fast”
Hi, I’m Richard. I’m a licensed trauma therapist with over 15 years of experience helping adults understand and heal complex trauma.
Clients often tell me they feel calm with me — not pressured, not judged, not pushed to perform healing. My approach blends emotional attunement with clear explanation, so what once felt overwhelming starts to make sense.
I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be honest, steady enough to stay present, and supported enough to move at their own pace. It turns out that moving at your own pace is the most effective way to connect with the parts of yourself that need healing. In trauma therapy we say you have to “go slow to go fast.”
You Don’t Have to Heal by Pushing Yourself
Imagine feeling more regulated in your body. Understanding your emotional patterns instead of fighting them. Responding to life with steadiness rather than bracing for impact.
Trauma healing doesn’t require force — it requires safety, clarity, and the right kind of support. If you’re ready for a calmer, more grounded way forward, I’m here.
