Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Quanah, TX

Seeking answers can be challenging; after all, you’re the helper not the one that needs help, right? The truth is you are worthy of care as well, and I am so proud you are here and I am honored by your curiosity.

Crazy right? You're used to being the one everyone goes to with their problems. The one who runs INTO danger, not away from it. But the one thing you can't outrun is yourself. And when we come home from being the Hero, the Strong One, the One Who Has It Together... we crash. My usual clients are just like you; the curse-breakers, the ones who fight and have fought for others, the ones who aren't afraid of anything - except facing our own demons.

Our lives are more complicated today than ever before. We are pulled in so many different directions - work, home, children who are dealing with lockdowns and bullying, and financial insecurity to name a few. And those emotions! They begin to overwhelm and contribute to heightened anxiety, depression, trauma, and exhaustion. Having someone to talk with and process thoughts and emotions helps - being able to learn to recognize unhealthy coping skills and replace with positive coping skills becomes a healing process. I am honored when someone invites me into their lives in this deeply personal way.

Life can be difficult, and each of us has unique experience and circumstance. Although the past informs the present, it doesn’t have to control the future. The counseling approach I use pulls from a humanistic perspective and believes that we have the inherent power within ourselves to move towards holistic wellbeing.

You feel helpless, hopeless, tired of even trying, and past and current issues keep getting in your way or causing excruciating internal conflict.

Let's work together to identify and understand what may be blocking you from feeling better. Your therapy goals will be the focus of our work together. I listen with empathy, with non-judgement, and help to empower individuals in areas where they feel stuck or defeated. You deserve to enjoy life!

You are a unique person and sometimes you have moments in your life when you need someone who can hold space for you. Someone who will listen without judgement. I see you and that is the person I will work to be for you. I work with you on your life journey. I help you see new perspectives, rewrite narratives in your life, and discover self-awareness. Working towards healthy perceptions of yourself and building strong relationships so you can establish a more capable, peaceful, and safe environment. Living congruently with yourself and your world minimizes anxiety and depression.

It can happen to anyone. Life is going along just fine, and then before you realize what happened, you find yourself in a tough situation you never expected. Coping with it has been far from easy, to say the least. You're not alone! If it's a traumatic event, if it's ongoing circumstances that impact your mood and overall functioning, perhaps I can help.

How often do you find yourself saying "I’m fine?" Are you in a career field that requires you to be "on" all the time? Does reaching out for help feel shameful or equals weakness? Maybe you can’t share what goes on in your day-to-day because you see and hear the worst of it. You don’t enjoy the activities you once did and snap with irritation at the slightest request. Perhaps you've survived the unimaginable, but now you really want to live. I imagine it took a significant amount of courage to get to this point. I'll honor your bravery in reaching out and give you the tools to be an active participant in your life.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you.

Life is a journey that you must navigate to the best of your ability. Sometimes a chosen path doesn't lead you to where you had hoped it would, which can cause difficult emotions to arise. Past trauma, grief or depression may have brought you here to seek help. I would like for you to know that you have made a very brave decision.

No matter how "together" you may appear on the outside, when you are hurting on the inside, life can feel overwhelming. I understand how challenging stubborn and worn-out old patterns and dynamics can be. I always seek to create a warm, down-to-earth, and nurturing environment where you can feel safe and protected. I meet you where you are in your life. You are the expert of your story and we go at your pace. There is no judgment or expectation for you to talk or perform. This is your journey toward greater self-awareness, growth and healing.
