Trauma Therapy Online in California, Washington & Illinois

Trauma therapy at Release & Restore Therapy offers a gentle, body-based approach to healing the impacts of trauma on the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for adults, couples, and families, with a focus on somatic healing, intergenerational trauma, and culturally responsive care for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Who Trauma Therapy is For

Trauma therapy may be supportive if you:

  • Feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, shutdown, or overwhelm

  • Experience emotional or physical responses that feel out of proportion

  • Carry the effects of childhood, relational, medical, racial, or complex trauma

  • Struggle with boundaries, trust, or safety in relationships

  • Feel disconnected from your body or emotions

Trauma does not have to be a single event—it can be cumulative, relational, or inherited.

My Trauma-Informed Approach

At Release & Restore Therapy, trauma therapy is:

  • Somatic & body-based – working with sensations, breath, and nervous system cues

  • Collaborative & paced – no forcing or re-traumatizing

  • Culturally responsive – honoring identity, lineage, and lived experience

  • Integrative – blending somatic therapy, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed yoga principles

I prioritize safety, consent, and your body’s wisdom throughout the process.
