Brainspotting
Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected—from your body, your emotions, and the life you want to live. You may know you’re safe now, yet still feel stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed in ways that don’t make sense. Therapy can be a place where this begins to change.
My work goes beyond talking, supporting your brain and nervous system in processing and releasing traumatic experiences at a deep level. I use EMDR and Brainspotting—powerful, trauma-informed approaches that help access the parts of the brain where trauma is stored—so healing can occur in a way that feels natural and lasting.
Equally important is the therapeutic relationship itself. I offer a compassionate, attuned space where your experience is met with care, respect, and pacing that honors your nervous system. Together, we work toward greater ease, resilience, and a renewed sense of freedom in your life.
If you’re considering trauma therapy and wondering whether I might be the right therapist for you, I invite you to reach out for a phone consultation.

Michelle King Rayfield
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I know that people come to therapy because they want something in their life to change. That's why I am very conscious of how we set goals and then create a road map to achieving them. I focus on relationships & couples counseling, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and I have held roles of Clinical Director and Therapist in a number of addiction treatment centers in Southern California. My educational background includes a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Master’s in Education from the University of Southern California. I know it can be hard to navigate through our struggles all alone, which is why I find joy in helping others feel supported in finding happiness, success, and fulfillment in life.
