Trauma Therapy
Trauma does not always look like a single dramatic event. It can show up as bracing before you know why, difficulty trusting your own memory, or feeling on edge in settings that look safe from the outside.
Many adults carry patterns learned when something felt unpredictable, scanning, people-pleasing, shutting down, or staying busy so feelings do not catch up. Therapy offers a paced place to understand those responses without forcing a story before you are ready.
I provide virtual trauma-informed therapy for adults in Chico and throughout California.
