EMDR Therapists in California

Hi there! I'm Elaine. I like to call myself a nurturer of weary souls. (But formally speaking, I'm a psychotherapist specializing in infertility and also trauma resolution.) I’m dedicated to helping weary souls who are bogged down with these issues find healing and hope again.

I work with adult survivors of early childhood trauma. I also work with people who suffer from generalized anxiety such as over-thinking and inability to control worry. Lastly I help people who are dealing with mild to moderate depression and have experienced grief and loss, low self-esteem, or lack of motivation.

Hello and welcome to HOPE Trauma Therapy! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with more than ten years of experience counseling individuals, couples, and families.

Training received includes: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) Seeking Safety Interpersonal Therapy. These evidence-based therapies are essential for holistic healing and wellness of the body, mind, and spirit. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you think we are a good fit. I would be so honored to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and wellness. I look forward to speaking with you. Thank you!

My training in couples work and trauma means I have the expertise you need and deserve when seeking therapy. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a real-life human struggling with all the demands of life right? I get it because I’m an actual wife, mom, entrepreneur, and daughter of a Law Enforcement Officer. I know that balancing family and marriage while trying to maintain sanity and a career is the opposite of easy. I also firmly believe in the healing power of humor and story-telling. So you won’t get a stuffy, intellectual in a suit when you work with me….you’ll get a real person.

You are on a constant rotation of feeling anxious, depressed, worried, or stressed. You have a lot of responsibilities, people counting on you, and yet sometimes it feels like you can barely keep your head above water. You're not exactly sure when life became this way. You've been through so much and still have so much to do. How exactly are you suppose to keep this up? You can't possibly handle one more thing put on your plate. Once upon a time you felt like a warrior. Now you are struggling to connect to the fire within you. You've tried working through your problems on your own and nothing that you know to do has worked. You want to truly enjoy your life again and feel connected to those you love. You want to set new goals and go about reaching them. You are desperate for more fun, laughter, and balance in your life. It takes a lot of courage to heal and grow, and just the process of realizing that you don't have to do it all alone is a huge step. You can do hard things! With the ability to do online line sessions, I make therapy easy and convenient to fit into your busy life. There are some therapists that will simply sit and listen to you. I am not one of those therapists. I will listen and support you AND I will challenge you to be the warrior that I know you are! Check out my website and reach out today!

My specialty is AF EMDR (Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy and Super Resourcing. If you have traumatic experiences, painful childhood, low self-esteem, I may be the perfect match for you. These things haunted me for 35 years. CBT, DBT, and talk therapy gave me some relief, but it was AF EMDR that transformed me and gave me the healing I needed. Rest assured, I can walk the talk and guide you in your journey of self discovery and healing.

Specialties I am a certified EMDR provider and EMDR consultant-in-training. Most of my work focus on trauma recovery. My overarching mission with each client is help them to obtain a deeper insight into their interpersonal behaviors, to heal wounded relationships, and to bring positive changes into their lives. Being a clinical psychologist allows me to provide psychological evaluation to help immigration process, personal injury, elderly dementia screening and other accommodation assessments. Psychological evaluation is used to help diagnose and clarify concerns regarding behavior, personality traits, mood, emotional functioning, and cognitive processes. Another specialty of mine is Asian Americans and minorities. While providing culturally sensitive approach, I assist my clients with acculturation, self-identify, family relationships, and issues facing immigrant families, including cross-cultural adjustments. My approach to psychotherapy is both integrative and collaborative. I can provide therapy in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese.
