Trauma Therapy in Houston, Texas
You can’t stop overthinking. You fear disappointing others. You struggle to implement boundaries. You overperform in every role so you'll be accepted. You say you're fine when you are not. You stay busy to avoid and distract yourself. There's another way!
Trauma Support in Houston
- Do you apologize when you don't need to or over-explain?
- Do you feel uneasy or guilty when you're not being productive?
- Do you have difficulty receiving compliments or love?
- Do you feel responsible for other's emotions?
If you’ve been living with trauma, you know what it’s like to feel stuck. Maybe you keep asking yourself:
- Why do I always feel on edge or plan for the worst, even when nothing’s wrong?
- Why do I struggle to trust others, ask for help, or rely on people, even when I want to?
- Why do I keep repeating the same painful patterns, no matter how much I try to change?
You’ve done your best to move forward, but something inside won’t let go. The past isn’t just a memory, it's like a ball and chain attached to your ankle. It’s a feeling in your body, a weight in your chest, a cycle of thoughts that won’t quiet down.
It’s exhausting, you’re probably wondering if healing is even possible. It is. And you don’t have to do it alone.
What Is Trauma?
- Trauma is not about the event, it's your perception of the event.
- Trauma can't be measured and impacts everyone differently.
- When trauma occurs when we feel helpless to change the situation, threatened, and unable to fully be ourselves.
- At the root, is a lack of choice and need to betray ourselves to survive and cope.
Choice creates healing. Small intentional choices. There are new options. You have choices. You are not stuck.
Trauma will shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world. It’s the kind of trauma that:
- Trauma may look like a over-reaction, a reaction that is incongruent in size to circumstances
- Trauma may show up in your body: migraines, tight chest, clinching teeth, digestive issues, muscle tension, a weak immune system, chronic illness, sleep issues, or fatigue
- Trauma may present in relationships: codependency, hyper-independence, attracting unavailable partners, love addiction, staying in abusive relationship, or lack of boundaries
We all have the ability to heal from trauma. Trauma is not the truth about who we are, it is a stuck perspective based on past events. If we allow past scary events to exist, they will begin to move.
Heal from Trauma
When you grow up having to depend on people who hurt you, you don't stop wanting safety, you stop wanting people. You may have been punished or shamed for having needs. You're not a burden. Your wants and needs matter.
It's never too late to rewrite your childhood by learning to reparent yourself. Pia Melody says all children are born, with five natural characteristics that make them authentic human beings: valuable, vulnerable, imperfect, dependent, and immature. Reclaim your power over generational dysfunction and become someone who would've protected you as a child.
- You are worthy of time, space, rest, and respect
- Being angry doesn't make you bad, anger can be our greatest teacher
- You are enough and you always have been

Change is a process without a definite timeline. Time is simply time, change and healing takes action and work. You are so worth it.
The Process
Schedule a Free Consultation
This is your first step. We’ll have a 15-minute call to talk about what you’re struggling with, what you hope to get out of therapy, and whether we’re a good fit. No obligation, just a chance to explore your options.
Build a Therapy Plan That Feels Right for You
Trauma is different for everyone, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. We’ll create a personalized therapy plan based on your needs, whether that includes EMDR, relational therapy, or a slow, supportive space to process at your own pace.
Begin Your Journey At Your Speed
We’ll work on rewiring old trauma responses, developing emotional regulation skills, and building trust in yourself and others. I'm here to guide and support you.
You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. If you’re ready to take the first step, let’s talk.
Life After Trauma Therapy
Imagine waking up free from anxiety and self-doubt. Instead of bracing for the worst, you feel calm, clear, and in control. No more second-guessing or clinging to old patterns that no longer serve you.
Boundaries feel natural, relationships thrive on trust, and the survival mode that once ruled your life fades away.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting, it means living fully despite the past. It’s about embracing who you are beyond trauma, without shame or people-pleasing.
Therapy won’t erase your story, but it will help you rewrite your future, one that feels lighter, stronger, and truly yours.
