Trauma
Trauma Therapy in Burbank, CA & Online Therapy Throughout California
What is Trauma?
Trauma is something that has happened to you, maybe many different events, maybe just one significant one, that was meaningful that your whole brain, body, emotions, and beliefs, froze in that moment. You find yourself unable to move forward, you’re not capable to find freedom.
Trauma makes living in the moment so incredibly difficult because you're
always on edge, always anticipating and waiting for the next bad thing to happen, and always looking at the world through a lens that is unsafe.
“Being traumatized is not just an issue of being stuck in the past; it is just as much a problem of not being fully alive in the present.”
- Bessel van der Kolk.
The present doesn’t really exist because what happened and what might happen has hijacked your whole system. Someone who has experienced a traumatic event or a lifetime of events, continues to remain stuck- in the past, beliefs, emotions, thoughts, relationships, in how you see yourself and the world.
You feel constantly on edge;
can’t seem to fully trust yourself; your see the world as an unsafe place; you start to overthink, become people pleasers, lack intimacy in your life, and feel you have lost hope and purpose. You have become easily reactive, maybe losing control over your actions/words/thoughts.
You might be depressed, finding yourself with low energy to engage in your life, a sense of hopelessness, lacking meaning and purpose.
You feel aimless, repeating patterns of behavior and hating yourself for it.

You may say to yourself...
“What is happening to me?”
“Why can’t I just get over it?” “Everybody tells me, ‘that was so long ago, get over it already!’ so why can’t I?”
“I should be stronger than this.”
“It wasn’t a big deal, why can’t I get the thoughts/nightmares to stop?” “I’m weak.” “I’m so stupid.”
You can redefine your story, and become the author of your future...
It's not just about letting go of the past - but about reclaiming your life, finding hope, building better relationships, and becoming more than what has happened to you.
Treating trauma is not just retelling the events, it’s exploring new ways of relating to the story, about changing its meaning, and finding ways of freedom to become fully alive in the present. It's not just what happened to you, it's what meaning you make of it, and when we explore the meaning of the traumatic events, we get to learn what it means to be alive.
Hi, I'm Kellie, and I'm a trauma therapist serving Burbank, CA and all throughout California. I'm a certified clinical trauma professional who specializes in treating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational issues.
I believe there is power in reclaiming the events of your life, changing the meaning, and find a new path towards healing. I have a passion for helping people understand their stories and to learn how to write new endings. I believe that everyone has the right to know what it feels like to be seen, heard, and known, regardless of where they’ve come from or what they've been through. Due to my own struggles with relational and childhood trauma, I believe healing can truly be found, and live can become beautiful once more.
