Trauma and PTSD Therapists in College Station, TX

Life is full of storms. The ebbs and flows they bring can leave anyone feeling shipwrecked. My role as a counselor is a grounding one, to equip and enable you to see through the darkness, light. Together we pursue truth, beauty, and lasting freedom.

Isn’t it incredible how sometimes just being with another person is healing? But not just any person—a person who really knows us, sees us, loves us, someone we trust. We are not made to go through life alone – in the great moments and the worst, it is the freedom that comes from this kind of relationship that allows us to openly celebrate or openly weep. It is the experience of being fully known and accepted that reminds us who we are and the freedom and power we have to be that person. My greatest honor is to be a partner in finding this type of hope and healing for you, bringing peace and restoration through any trial.

There are times in life we feel like we have reached a point that we need help getting back on track. Sometimes we have been experiencing this for a long time, sometimes it is sudden. There are times we need help learning how to successfully cope with our experiences and change how we view and approach our lives. When you have reached this point, I can help.

The counseling process can feel overwhelming at times. Through providing a safe, empowering, and positive healing environment, my goal is to help guide my clients through the process.

My approach to counseling is to offer individuals a safe space to grow and explore. I guide my clients through the layers of emotion and circumstance that lead them to counseling, and give hope for peace. We will work together to dig deep, set goals, and have positive outcomes. Helping people identify true feelings while guiding toward resolution is the ultimate goal. Clients who are striving for growth and ready to expand their current situation by putting in the necessary work are inspiring. I value everyone who sits with me, and recognize the impact the counseling setting can provide with my whole heart.

Ever wish you could just run away from your life for a week (maybe longer) to catch a break? To truly rest and recharge. Every part of you feels tired. Exhausted from trying to keep 15 different plates from crashing. You want freedom from constantly being pulled in so many directions. You daydream of escaping to a slower, more peaceful place where it doesn’t feel like there’s so much expected of you. A place you can just be. Free to be authentically you. You wish you could let go of the perfectionism and people-pleasing. And instead feel calm and confident in who you are.

Do you feel like you’re struggling to keep your head above water? We’ve all been there, and we all face unique challenges. However, these hardships can foster strength and flexibility. I believe that individuals can see dramatic improvements in their life and mental health with guidance and support.

I especially enjoy working with individuals who might be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress management, adjustment difficulties, relational issues, and family conflict.

Quoting David Mathis, "Poor listening diminishes another person, while good listening invites them to exist and matter. Positively, then, good listening requires concentration and means we're in with both ears, and that we hear the other person out till they're done speaking. Rarely will the speaker begin with what's most important, and deepest. We need to hear the whole train of thought, all the way to the caboose, before starting across the tracks." Who then should set up an appointment? Ideal clients are males, couples or families seeking life transformation, relationship growth or reconciliation or spiritual formation for life's journey.

I became a counselor because I have seen the incredible power of vulnerability, connection, and the story of our lives. My role as a counselor is to walk with clients through the hardest parts of their stories, grieving the things too hard to face alone and celebrating the breakthroughs previously thought to be impossible.

Having trouble sleeping? Stressed out, feeling numb, paralyzed or confused? Perhaps you find yourself stuck in the grip of an image of yourself from your childhood, an echo of unkind or absent parents. Many people come to me because they feel hopeless and can no longer find joy or meaning in their lives. Still others are haunted by traumatic events that they can't get out of their heads. Therapy is a powerful healing alliance between therapist and client. I work with and for you; you are the expert on you.

Thoughts, feelings and experiences can sometimes be so difficult to sift through alone! Together, we can develop a safe and nurturing space to begin exploring the intricacies of yourself and the world around you. My strength based perspective focuses on person- in- environment, taking into consideration the many facets of human exposure and environmental influences that formulate a person’s life. I have come to see that a person’s greatest power to change comes mostly from their own internal resources of reflection, motivation and realization. My main objective is to be a caring companion to this healing process.
