Trauma and PTSD Therapists in McAllen, TX

Do you ever feel lost, worried or concerned about your mental health? Let's explore and take the first step together and see how we can strive to have a more satisfactory life. Emphasizing the importance of self-care, recognizing and overcoming detrimental habits that hinder personal development and promoting a holistic well-being can help us make positive change in our life.

I have been a psychologist for over 30 years with a breadth of experience in a variety of clinical settings. I received extensive training in psychodynamic therapy, including studies at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. This depth approach is especially helpful for individuals who have a pattern of difficulties in relationships or have personality issues that hold them back in their personal and professional lives. Individuals with long standing self-esteem issues often find a depth approach especially helpful as do individuals with anxiety and depression who have not been helped by other therapy approaches.

I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker that specializes in the treatment of Depression and Anxiety. I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral approach and specialize in the following diagnoses: Depression, Anxiety Disorders (Separation Anxiety, Phobias, Social Anxiety, Panic, Agoraphobia, & Generalized Anxiety), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. If you’re struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, or any other transitions in life, I can help you explore and offer guidance all from the comfort of your own home.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, full of psychobabble and jargon. That is definitely not me! I want to help you achieve the solutions and life changes you are looking for while learning about yourself in new ways. Life is too short to surrender to depression, bad relationship patterns, or let trauma control us. Therapy gives us new tools to deal with life on life’s terms and the benefit of an objective, third-person perspective. We absolutely can be free of emotional pain and find meaning in our lives if we believe change is possible, we want to change, and we are willing to do the work.

Counseling is a personal and meaningful experience. Together we can find healthy ways to manage distress with achievable goals specific for you. I am here to listen without judgement and provide a safe space to process through difficult times. I enjoy working with individuals to empower them with ways to create positive changes and find balance in their personal, work, and social lives. I have worked with children and adults who have survived abuse or experienced a traumatic event in their lives. Trauma of all sorts can show up in different ways and at different times in our lives.

You are light. You are wisdom. You are deserving of experiencing moments of joy and relief. Pause....take a deep breathe. Exhale. That moment belongs to you. It is autonomous and free. Sometimes our walk through life can feel daunting. It can be tiring. There are moments where we simply need support in carrying that weight as it can be confusing to understand all that we feel and why we are feeling it. But we keep walking in order to survive. We become good at survivng as that is all we may know. Unknowingly however we need connection, love, and community. So thank you for the moral courage to be here today investing in you.

I provide short-term psychotherapy services that are practical and solution focused. I take a collaborative approach in helping clients make the changes they are seeking.

What was once bad memories, that you were able to suppress, have now become intrusive in your daily life. Each day feels like you're more stressed out than the day before. You find yourself easily irritable, & it's difficult to be around your loved ones. The nightmares and sleepless nights are happening more often & no one seems to understand your past. When you do get to sleep, waking up to the ringing in the ears is so unpleasant. The panic attacks feel like you are taking your last breaths. Therapy seems daunting, because the very last thing you want to do is re-live any of it, but you would give anything to feel internal peace.

Former Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, once wrote, “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” As a mental health therapist associate from South Texas, I realize that therapy goes beyond the diagnosis realm and into a wider space of understanding, attunement, and healing. Renowned physician, Gabor Mate asserted that healing does not rely on getting rid of the pain but in increasing one’s capacity to be resilient to it. I honor you as a human, with many parts and crevices that showcase your authentic self. My approach is geared toward helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered; Be Here Now.

Do you feel that you are surviving but you are not living life due to the pain that you have experienced? Often times we run away from the pain; we incorporate countless of ways to avoid it including through symptoms of anxiety, anxiety attacks, depression, substance, post-traumatic stress, adjustment disorders, anger, or any other means that will help us to not lean toward the pain. I often tell my clients, "You have to Feel in order to Heal," and this is where we take back our authentic power and we learn to thrive. Let me be the one to speak to that wounded part of YOU and allow me to say, you are able to HEAL!

Feeling stressed these days is pretty common, but when it begins to impact your relationships, makes stepping out the door a challenge, or starts interfering with work or school, it's a clear signal to consider seeking support. Perhaps you're feeling stuck in the past, unable to move forward – that's a definite cue that it's time for some assistance. If you're noticing changes such as 'overthinking' everything, feeling angry, drinking or smoking more, avoiding friends & family, or experiencing physical symptoms due to anxiety, seeking help is incredibly important
