PTSD & Complex Trauma Therapy in Austin & San Antonio, Texas
"Just where you are, that's the place to start."
– Pema Chödrön
Stuck in feeling worried all the time, you may feel like life is overwhelming, like it's too much.
Your energy levels are at an all time low and you feel lonely, even when others are around because they just don't get it. You've lost the joy you once had in life and have an insane schedule that just doesn't let you rest. Sometimes staying busy feels like it helps. You may even think, “at least I don’t have the energy to think about what I’ve been through.”
Memories from the past have been showing up more often and they won’t let up.
I want you to know that even if you're struggling, nothing is wrong with you. What you're experiencing is natural and it's okay to ask for help. Even if you don't believe you deserve care, it’s okay to take care of yourself right now.
It’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could feel joy again, and stop worrying that the other shoe is going to drop. Imagine a life where you shift into a more positive and hopeful outlook on life. Imagine waking up in the morning and not feeling like the anxiety is taking over. What if you could have a life where changes actually stick for the long-term and you free yourself from the pain from the past? I know it’s hard to believe it can happen but I see it happen all the time with clients I’ve worked with in the past.
Trauma therapy will help you rise above challenges and start moving toward your ideal life with less stress and more calm.
You'll gain the practical tools you need to lower your overall anxiety in life and finally resolve issues from the past.
Even if you're not usually comfortable opening up to people, trauma therapy can still help because we'll go at a pace that feels best for you.
I've helped those struggling with effects of past trauma and difficult life experiences find their way to feeling more calm, peace, and hope. My clients discover it's possible to live life in the present and not constantly relive the past or repeat the same cycles over and over again.
How Trauma Therapy Works
I'll guide you towards solutions and share what the science tells us about what's going on for you. I play an active role. In addition, I'm a trained EMDR therapist. EMDR is a proven therapy that helps women heal from past trauma and many other concerns.
Research shows trauma therapy can positively change your thinking, beliefs, emotions, response to activating situations/triggers, and behaviors. It can help you let go of what’s holding you back.
Trauma therapy can help you feel like a weight has been lifted.
What if you could experience changes that are sustainable?
You want to feel confident, gain back your energy and motivation, not feel like you're somehow failing, and not feel like a burden. You want to feel like you’re good enough, like something isn’t wrong with you, deep down. You don’t want to feel like you “should’ve known better” or done something differently as if it’s all your fault. Trauma therapy can free you from the past and free up the emotional space you need to feel better in your day-to-day.
Trauma therapy can help you get your life back on track now.
