EMDR Therapists in New Braunfels, TX

Having a baby is a huge life transition individually and for the family. Change can happen in an instant but navigating your personal transition in response to that change takes time so it is important to nurture yourself through pregnancy and postpartum. During the perinatal period, anxiety can feel overwhelming especially if you are having scary thoughts and difficulty regulating emotions. You are not alone and at times motherhood is hard. It's okay to make yourself a priority and be mindful of what you are feeling and needing. When we take care of ourselves, we are then better equipped to be there for others in our life.

I believe we all have the capability to grow and move into a place of wholeness. I aspire to walk alongside my clients as they grow and evolve; shedding unhelpful truths, memories, or behaviors you may have gathered along your journey. I can help you heal from old trauma wounds, gain insight about your inner world, learn to become an observer of your thoughts/emotions, and gain helpful tools to help you in those inevitable hard moments. Curiosity, self-empowerment & authentic human connection will be the cornerstone of our work. We'll laugh, we'll cuss, we'll gossip and we'll cry. Self-healing and wholeness lies within you!

When you are struggling, one of the most difficult things to do is ask for help. It takes courage, faith, and trust to reach out when life feels unmanageable or overwhelming. Yet taking that one step is often the very best thing you can do for yourself and those you love. I provide compassionate, competent counseling to teens and adults in individual, and family/group settings. I use individualized talk, play, and EMDR techniques to help clients set therapeutic goals and reach them.
