ONLINE TRAUMA THERAPY ACROSS TEXAS
Renew hope. Reclaim stability. Rebuild trust.
Even getting through the day right now feels like a chore.
You might find yourself interrupted by flashbacks or reminders that make it feel like you’re reliving the past. It’s like you’re always on edge and your nerves are constantly frazzled, leaving you overwhelmed and exhausted by the end of the day. It can be difficult to relax or unwind when you’re always anticipating the next trigger.
Your relationships are feeling it too. Maybe this leads to interactions you aren’t proud of, like snapping at your kids or taking out your frustrations on your partner. This constant state of tension can leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed.
You may find it hard to open up and talk about what you're going through, fearing no one will understand or know how to help. Maybe you’ve reached out for help before, but didn’t feel heard or seen in your struggles. It’s like no matter what you do the storm isn’t passing. You’re just ready to find just a glimmer of hope.
You might be experiencing…
Intense feelings of self-blame & shame
Feeling fearful, overly stressed, or unsafe
Overwhelming guilt
Emotional numbness or difficulty feeling anything
Disconnected relationships, including with yourself
Loss of joy & struggling to find motivation
Physical discomfort, like head and body aches
Irritability with yourself & others
Your experiences have shaped you, but they don't have to dictate your future.
There really is a light at the end of the tunnel. You're not alone on this journey.
I believe in meeting you wherever you are on this path toward healing. This starts by building a relationship of trust and safety, followed by tools to help you work through some of the emotions and physical symptoms you may be experiencing. As we establish a sense of calm—allowing you to feel safe and secure—we’ll be able to ease our way into the deeper work.
Every step of this process will be at your pace. You don’t ever have to feel rushed or “behind,” because trauma therapy is tailored specifically to you and what you need. Often, I’ll gently challenge you towards processing your past and help you exercise things you’re learning so that you can take care of yourself and ultimately release the weight on your shoulders.
It’s best to view this work like getting into a swimming pool for the first time; we don’t want to jump into the deep end too fast. When we start in the shallow end learning the necessary skills and the tools to swim, we can ease our way toward the deep end with confidence, hope and peace.
Trauma therapy can help you…
Set & keep healthy boundaries
Gain a sense of personal empowerment
Regulate & understand your own emotions
Enjoy deeper, more meaningful relationships
Learn how to trust yourself & others
Cultivate self-awareness & inner strength

EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages you to focus briefly on the traumatic memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements or tapping), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the memories. EMDR is an extensively researched, effective modality proven to help relieve trauma and PTSD symptoms.
-
EMDR does not require talking in detail about your traumatic memories or completing homework between sessions. Instead, EMDR focuses on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the memory, allowing the brain to resume its natural healing process.
EMDR incorporates bilateral stimulation while you focus on a specific traumatic memory. This stimulation activates both hemispheres of the brain, facilitating the reprocessing of traumatic material in a way that talk therapy alone does not.
The goal of EMDR is to desensitize the emotional response to traumatic memories. Rather than just understanding the trauma intellectually, you reprocess the memory, so it no longer elicits intense distress or disrupts daily functioning.
EMDR can often lead to faster resolution of trauma compared to traditional talk therapy.
