EMDR Childhood Trauma Therapist In Brea, California
Adult Individual Therapy
At Growing Glimmers, I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for adults, teens, and children. My approach blends EMDR, parts work, relational science, somatic practices, polyvagal theory, and a systems perspective—taking into account family, culture, community, and generational influences—to support deep, holistic healing.
I specialize in working with women of color who have experienced childhood trauma, offering a safe and empowering space to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves and their communities.
Adults I Work With
Often, they are past versions of me.
The mujeres who had to learn to take care of themselves too early.
The ones who struggle to trust, to feel safe in love, or to stay grounded in relationships.
The “good girls” who always did what was expected.
The givers who poured into others until they had nothing left for themselves.
The ones who long to slow down, but find it almost impossible.
The ones who feel insecure or “not enough,” caught in the loop of what will they think?
The ones who wrestle with loneliness and sadness—craving connection and community, yet unsure or afraid to reach for it.
The ones who learned to stay silent and small, now asking: Who am I?
The ones in recovery—healing old wounds, breaking cycles, and learning to choose themselves.
If any of this resonates, you are not alone.
Adult Individual Therapy
I love working with clients—especially first- and second-generation women of color—who are motivated to break generational cycles of harm within their families. If you’ve ever been told you are “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” “different,” or felt like the black sheep for wanting to live in ways that honor your truth, I see you. Taking this step toward your healing is powerful, and I’m honored to walk alongside you.
In our work together, we’ll explore the wounds that shaped you, while offering comfort and safety to the younger parts of yourself that still carry pain. Therapy is a space where you can slow down, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and practice new ways of being that align with who you truly are.
My role is to support you in releasing old patterns that no longer serve you, and to walk with you as you strengthen your voice, deepen your connections, and reclaim the life you not only desire—but deeply deserve.
