EMDR Therapist in California for Trauma Healing and Emotional Relief

I help Latina Women move away from trauma to healing through the use of EMDR therapy. My clients say that EMDR therapy has helped them move past their traumas. EMDR goes beyond talk therapy and helps clients process traumatic events with the use of rapid eye movements, sounds or tapping. 

EMDR helps clients unlock memories that are often stored and locked deep in their minds. EMDR therapy helps clients address unhelpful thoughts about themselves of the world with the help of a trained therapist. 

Release What is Holding You Back and Begin Moving Toward Peace

When working with me as an EMDR Therapist in California we will meet weekly and track progress every 5 sessions. Clients have stated that they enjoy working with me as they can open up in a safe place without fear of being judged. Clients also said they like they can speak English, Spanish or Spanglish in our sessions. They appreciate that get what it means to be a Latina and how the Latinx culture plays a role in our lives. Clients that have completed EMDR therapy have stated that they felt faster progress than with typical talk therapy as EMDR gets to the core issues of trauma. Although EMDR can be intense, the outcomes that my clients usually see are improvements in their self-care, self-esteem, mood and relationships. They often report feeling “ like I was able to leave my past where it belongs in the past “,  and  “feeling lighter as I am no longer carrying what is not mine” when it came to generational trauma. 

Whether you have been in talk therapy for many years with minimal progress or it’s your first time in therapy: EMDR therapy can help you move beyond trauma and empower you to build the life you desire. Contact me today to get started or call (909) 206-4613

Frequently Asked Questions About Working With an EMDR Therapist in California

What is EMDR therapy and how can it help me heal?
EMDR therapy is an evidence based approach that helps your brain process painful or overwhelming experiences so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself. Many people come to EMDR when they feel stuck in old patterns, memories, or emotional reactions that will not go away on their own. With the support of a trained EMDR therapist, you learn to gently move through the past so it stops running your present.

How do I know if EMDR therapy is right for me?
You may benefit from EMDR if you have experienced trauma, childhood emotional wounds, anxiety, panic, chronic stress, relationship struggles, or moments when your body reacts before you can even understand why. If you are craving real change and want something deeper than traditional talk therapy, EMDR can be a powerful option.

What happens during an EMDR session?
We start by slowing things down and helping your nervous system feel safe. We create a set of coping skills before we begin processing. When you are ready, we use bilateral stimulation such as gentle eye movements, tapping, or tones to help your brain reprocess memories that are still causing distress. Everything happens at your pace. You stay in control and we check in often so the work feels steady and grounded.

How long does EMDR therapy take to work?
Everyone heals at a different pace. Some people notice shifts within a few sessions while others take longer because we are working with deeper experiences. What matters is that we move slowly, compassionately, and in a way that honors your story. My role is to help you find relief in a way that feels respectful and empowering.

Can EMDR help even if I cannot remember everything that happened?
Yes. You do not need perfect memories for EMDR to work. Your body and emotions often hold more information than words can describe. EMDR helps you process whatever is showing up for you, whether it is a clear memory, a feeling, or a sense that something is “off.”

Do you offer EMDR therapy online for clients in California?
Yes. As long as you are within the state of California, we can meet through secure online sessions. Many clients find virtual EMDR to be just as effective and sometimes even more comfortable since they can do the work in a familiar environment.

Is EMDR safe if I have had trauma in my childhood?
EMDR is widely used for childhood trauma because it allows for gentle, structured processing without forcing you to relive everything. We move carefully and build emotional and nervous system stability before working on the harder memories so you feel supported and steady.

What makes working with a Latina EMDR therapist different?
Cultural understanding matters. Many clients feel relief knowing they can speak openly with someone who understands the nuances of family expectations, identity, language, and the unspoken pressures many of us grew up with. You do not have to explain your culture to me. You get to simply show up as yourself.

Do you take insurance for EMDR therapy?
Please contact me to discuss if I am in network with your insurance. If I am not ; I can provide a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Many clients use their out of network benefits to help with costs. I am happy to walk you through how this works.
