Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 76502

Choosing counseling is the first step in your journey to healing. I work with adolescents, women, and men who struggle with a variety of challenges such as Anxiety, Depression, Coping Skills, Self-Esteem, Communication Issues, Grief, Parenting, Self-Harm, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma, and Situational Stressors. I believe counseling is a safe and judgment-free space that allows for awareness and healing to be cultivated.

On any given day, we face countless stressors and challenges. We may begin to see the world as burdensome, puzzling, and just too heavy to bare. “Life on life’s terms” can be a daunting and overwhelming prospect, even for the strongest among us. We live in a world that is increasingly demanding. More and more, people feel isolated and disconnected. We can become anxious, fearful, lonely, and angry. The good news? People CAN and DO change. They overcome. I've worked with countless people who have made positive change and had positive outcomes.

I specialize and have experience in treating a wide range of traumas ranging from combat trauma, sexual trauma, and other types of traumatic life events.

I have experience working with grief, depression, and anxiety.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a focus is to help individuals heal and become aware of their inner strengths. I help to achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan all with confidentiality.

I am currently taking new clients for virtual appointments.

Have you or your child been experiencing anxiety, grief, or change in mood and behavior? Was there any past trauma to address? If you answered yes and are looking to create change and live a balanced emotional and behavioral life it can be achieved. You can live a healthy balanced life and feel the control that you are looking for. Your life has multiple ups and downs throughout your story. At times it can feel like you are not in control of things that you believe "should come easy". You have already taken the first two steps. First recognizing things are not the way you want them to be and secondly searching for answers and help.

I'm here to help you make meaning of what you've gone through, and go from simply surviving to thriving.

Are you experiencing difficulty in keeping and developing good, solid relationships with those you love? Has anyone in your family deployed to the Middle East only to return with some form of combat stress - and can't seem to shake it?

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, confused, powerless, helpless to control life issues, a healthy first step toward realizing positive change in your life, is to invest in therapy.

We strive to better our lives, our relationships, or our families (or all three!). Sometimes, we just need a little help. That is what I want to offer you: a little help.

I love working with individuals, couples, families and children who are ready to undertake a journey of growth.

Navigating through life's challenges can be difficult. At times, it can seem absolutely hopeless! Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, nor is it selfish! It is a sign of selfless strength!

I will walk alongside you in your journey and exhibit empathy, unconditional positive regard and active listening in a non-judgmental manner. I will also challenge you at times to push you beyond your comfort level because that is where the growth happens!
