Meet Robyn, Your Specialized Trauma Therapist in San Diego
Hi, I’m Robyn. I know how overwhelming it can feel to carry the weight of trauma, grief, or stress alone. As a psychodynamic therapist certified in EMDR, I’ve helped many clients explore their pain and find clarity.
My approach is grounded in compassion and understanding, offering a safe space where you can share, reflect, and grow at your own pace. This is far beyond just fixing you, it’s about supporting you as you discover your own strength and take steps toward the fulfilling life your deserve.
What EMDR Therapy Can Do For You:
-
Let Go of Triggers
Trauma therapy can help you identify and work through triggers that bring up fear, anger, or sadness, so you’re not constantly caught off guard by unexpected emotional reactions.
-
Strong Relationships
Unprocessed trauma often creates barriers to trust and connection. Therapy can help you understand how your experiences affect your relationships and provide tools to foster healthier, more supportive connections.
-
Regain a Sense of Control
Trauma can make life feel unpredictable or overwhelming. Therapy allows you to rebuild confidence in your ability to handle emotions, navigate challenges, and take steps toward the life you want.
