Trauma Focused Therapists in Katy, TX

Hello! You have taken your first step towards healing and building resiliency. Recognizing and acknowledging the need for healing is a significant first step, and I'm here to provide support, guide, and encourage you every step of the way. I meet you where ever you are at emotionally and listen to understand your unique experiences to provide you with a secure space to explore your emotions or feelings, free of judgement. I integrate person-centered and trauma-focused techniques as it allows for a holistic approach that honors your autonomy while also addressing any traumas or challenges you are experiencing.

Have you recently lived through a traumatic experience? Do you find yourself feeling lonely, sad or anxious? Have you recently lost a loved one? Together we will explore, confront, and release unresolved traumatic experiences, unhealthy relationship dynamics and problematic beliefs/behaviors to empower you to live the life you want. My experience includes working collaboratively with children and adolescents, young adults, couples, families struggling with depression, anxiety, life-related transitions, abuse and trauma, domestic violence, anger management, grief/loss, parenting, personal relationships and conflict resolution.

The healing journey is a humbling process. Have you ever felt frustrated that you cannot outsmart your trauma history by thinking your way out of it? Do you avoid the painful memories, thinking it will help, but realize it finds its way back into your life even though you thought you managed to quarantine it. I know how that feels and I know how hard it is to rewire the neurobiology of your brain to allow for new and less painful experiences. You are not alone. I am inspired by the courage it takes to engage in therapy. I approach this work from an anti-oppressive framework and believe that clients know what they need to heal.

During these trying times, it is easy to experience feelings of despair, anxiety, and depression, which can be stressful and overwhelming. This can lead to frustration, unfinished projects, and unaccomplished life goals. I can work with you collaboratively in a warm, welcoming, and safe therapeutic environment to help you achieve personal growth, balance in body, mind and spirit and help you reach your desired life goals.

One of my favorite things to discuss in therapy, taken from my own therapeutic experience, is being okay with “C minus” work and allowing our bare minimum to be enough. Life has a way of demanding urgency, and we have a way of expecting perfection from ourselves. To unravel the intricacies of our life and our being takes time and that time requires compassion and patience towards self. When working with me you’ll frequently hear me remind you to be curious, not critical.

Therapy should provide a safe space for people to be themselves without fear of judgement. I love working with people who are recovering from trauma, struggling with life transitions, or dealing with anxiety or depression. I provide a positive learning environment where teens and young adults can learn how to manage difficult emotions.

Are you feeling stressed out, anxious or depressed? Are you struggling with sleep problems because you're worrying too much? Do you suffer from past or recent trauma? If you answered yes to any of these, my approach is to collaboratively explore your beliefs, feelings and thought patterns to help you gain self-knowledge and empower you to live a more fulfilling life.
