Somatic Therapists in Schertz, TX

I am a trauma therapist who utilizes effective trauma treatment therapies. I practice using EMDR, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, and now Safe and Sound Protocal . All approaches work with the mind, body, and emotions to help support the movement through trauma. Our bodies are holding containers that will hold onto trauma until there is a pathway for release. If you are finding yourself stuck without movement, traditional therapies not working, maybe this is a new path to check into. I am ready to work alongside you to help you get to where you would like to be.

If anything is preventing you from getting to a healthy place, maybe it's time to examine what your next steps will be. Don't allow fear, work, and life's hustle to keep you from having peace. FIND PEACE REGARDLESS OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. Life can get better!

Despite trying to forget that event or situations that happened, they are still on your mind. I know it probably feels pointless to think about the past right now, but you are ready to heal and want to move on. You want to stop overthinking about your past and learn to heal to live the life you want and deserve. Through talking and using EMDR techniques, the traumatic images, and negative thoughts about yourself will be stored in your brain in a more helpful manner. In therapy, you will also be able to express and gain understanding of your emotions and the event you survived.
