Online PTSD & Trauma Therapy in Texas
Heal from the Past and Reclaim Your Life
Do you feel like part of you is still living in the past — constantly on edge, replaying what happened, or shutting down to survive? Maybe you’ve tried to move on, but something inside won’t let you. The memories, the tension in your body, the nightmares, the startle response — they just don’t go away.
You’re not broken. You’re responding exactly how a human brain and body respond after trauma.
I specialize in helping people heal from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Trauma (C-PTSD) through a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps calm the body, reprocess painful memories, and restore safety in the nervous system. Whether your trauma comes from abuse, critical incidents, loss, military service, or chronic stress, therapy can help you reclaim the sense of peace and control you deserve.
Understanding PTSD
PTSD develops when the body and brain remain stuck in survival mode long after a threat has passed. It’s not weakness — it’s your nervous system trying to protect you.
According to the National Center for PTSD, about 6% of U.S. adults will experience PTSD at some point in their lives, and 1 in 3 people exposed to severe trauma will develop long-term symptoms. Women are nearly twice as likely as men to experience PTSD, and first responders, caregivers, and military personnel are among the highest-risk groups.
Common PTSD symptoms include:
Flashbacks, intrusive memories, or nightmares
Feeling constantly on edge, alert, or unsafe
Avoiding reminders, people, or places connected to the trauma
Emotional numbness or detachment from others
Outbursts of anger, irritability, or shame
Sleep problems, anxiety, or panic
Feeling stuck in cycles of guilt, fear, or self-blame
These reactions can make even simple daily tasks feel overwhelming — but with the right support, they are treatable.
How I Treat Trauma & PTSD
Healing from trauma requires more than just talking about what happened. It’s about helping your body and mind finally realize: You’re safe now.
My approach integrates the most research-supported trauma treatments available, tailored to your comfort and readiness:
💫 Somatic & Mindfulness Work
Before processing memories, we focus on regulating your nervous system through grounding, mindfulness, and body awareness. You’ll learn to recognize your body’s signals, calm intense emotions, and feel safe in your own skin again.
🧠 EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge. Using gentle, guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation, I help your mind file the past where it belongs — without having to relive every detail.
⚡ The Flash Technique
For clients who feel easily overwhelmed or “flooded” by trauma memories, the Flash Technique offers a gentler way to reduce distress quickly before deeper trauma work.
💬 Cognitive and Attachment-Focused Therapy
Together, we’ll work through unhelpful thought patterns (“It was my fault,” “I’m not safe”) and rebuild trust, boundaries, and connection — especially for those with relational or developmental trauma.
This layered, body-first approach helps you heal safely and effectively — at a pace that honors both your resilience and your readiness.
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with:
First responders, law enforcement, and military personnel processing cumulative or critical incident trauma
Caregivers and helping professionals struggling with burnout or compassion fatigue
Adults with childhood or relational trauma (C-PTSD, abuse, neglect, or attachment wounds)
Autistic and neurodivergent adults managing sensory trauma or masking fatigue
Survivors of loss, accidents, violence, or medical trauma
I also offer online trauma intensives — focused, structured sessions designed to accelerate healing for clients who need deeper work in a shorter time frame.
You Don’t Have to Relive It to Heal From It
PTSD can make you feel like your trauma will define you forever — but it doesn’t have to. Healing is absolutely possible. Through gentle, evidence-based trauma therapy, you can finally feel grounded, connected, and in control again.
