Expert Trauma Therapy in El Segundo, CA
With over 25 years of experience as a somatic trauma psychotherapist, I specialize in integrating Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy to address complex emotional wounds. My practice focuses on healing relational trauma through a combination of evidence-based modalities and somatic approaches. I work with clients to process preverbal trauma stored in the body using ketamine and cannabis-assisted therapy, two legally available medicines. As a certified ISTDP therapist and PSIP model instructor, I provide individual therapy, group trainings, and clinical supervision to therapists worldwide. My approach emphasizes the importance of human connection in healing, recognizing that trauma often requires relational support to resolve.I offer both in-person sessions in El Segundo, CA, and teletherapy options to accommodate diverse client needs. My practice maintains PPO provider status with most insurance companies, offering potential reimbursement for services. I prioritize accessibility through flexible payment options including Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle. My commitment to ongoing professional development ensures clients receive the most effective, up-to-date therapeutic approaches. I maintain affiliations with leading training institutions while focusing on personalized care that addresses each client's unique healing journey.
