Understanding the Impact of Trauma—A Foundation for Healing

According to the World Health Organization (2024), nearly seven in ten people worldwide will experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. Yet trauma is often misunderstood or minimized. I believe that normalizing these conversations helps reduce stigma and builds compassion for how traumatic stress impacts mental health, relationships, and daily life.

Trauma can be sudden or prolonged, visible or hidden—and its effects may persist long after the event. I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive online therapy to help adults across California and Virginia address the lasting effects of PTSD, complex trauma, and related conditions. My practice is grounded in evidence-based therapy, offering support that fosters healing, resilience, and long-term well-being.

If trauma has shaped how you think, feel, and relate, you deserve care that meets you with safety and respect—and offers skills you can use today.

Specialized Trauma Therapy for Adults in California & Virginia

I’ve built Next Mission Recovery to help adults move from surviving to living with purpose. I combine Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with trauma‑focused approaches to help you reduce hypervigilance, manage triggers, and reconnect with the people and activities that matter.

PTSD & Trauma Recovery

If you’re living with flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, or emotional numbing, you’re not alone. I use CPT, CBT, and ACT to help you process trauma, rebuild safety, and restore a sense of control—at your pace and aligned with your values.

Complex PTSD (C‑PTSD) & Developmental Trauma

Chronic, early, or repeated trauma can impact identity, boundaries, and relationships. I provide structured, compassionate care to build emotional regulation, self‑understanding, and a more integrated sense of self.

Anxiety, Mood & Emotional Regulation

Trauma‑related anxiety and depression can erode focus, sleep, and motivation. Together, we’ll develop practical skills—mindfulness, grounding, values‑guided action—to improve mood stability and daily functioning.

Attachment‑Based Challenges (Anxious, Avoidant, Disorganized)

Attachment wounds often show up as mistrust, over‑accommodation, distancing, or conflict. We’ll strengthen insight and boundaries so you can relate with more security and authenticity.

Clinical Focus: PTSD • C‑PTSD • developmental trauma • anxiety and depression • attachment challenges • moral injury

My Approach to Trauma‑Informed, Culturally Responsive Therapy

Healing isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. I prioritize emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for your lived experience. My work is ACT‑led—which means we’ll focus on what you value, build psychological flexibility, and take small, sustainable steps toward the life you want.

  • Trauma‑informed: We pace treatment to your nervous system, not a rigid protocol.

  • Culturally responsive: Care that honors identity, context, and community.

  • Evidence‑based: ACT, CBT, CPT, PE, and mindfulness—tailored to your goals.

  • Confidential & insurance‑free: Especially supportive for federal employees/high‑clearance roles, first responders, veterans, immigrants and refugees, and individuals navigating systemic stressors.

Why ACT for Trauma Recovery

Flexible, values-guided work

ACT helps us focus on what matters most to you, even when distress shows up. We’ll build psychological flexibility—skills that let you make room for hard thoughts and feelings while you move toward chosen goals.

Evidence-based, paced to you

When helpful, I integrate CBT, CPT, and carefully paced exposure work. We’ll decide together what’s right for your timeline, culture, and context.
