PTSD and Trauma Therapy for Deep Thinkers In San Antonio
For Reflective Feelers Who Carry More Than Most
You’re not broken - you’ve been adapting in brilliant ways to what life has asked of you.
I specialize in attachment-based trauma and PTSD therapy for those who think and feel deeply, and carry the invisible weight of old wounds behind a steady exterior.
Together, we’ll untangle the past using curiosity, creativity, and nervous system-informed therapies, so you can stop bracing for the next blow, and start living with clarity, connection, and calm.
You’re Not Alone: Healing Begins with Understanding Your Strength
Your strength and resilience are powerful, but you deserve to feel light and free.
From the outside, no one would guess the battle you fight every single day. You’re successful. Capable. The one who’s always holding it down. But sometimes you wonder if you’re only pretending, bracing for the moment someone sees beneath the surface.
But the truth? You’re tired. And not just “I need a nap” tired (although, let’s be honest, that, too).
You’re bone-deep tired.
Not just physically. Emotionally. Soulfully. Mentally.
You’re ready for the peace and relief that comes when you release the weight you’ve been carrying for so long. You’re tired of pretending you have it all together when inside, you feel vulnerable.
Overwhelmed. Hyper-alert. Bracing for the next wave of anxiety that steals your light and keeps you staring at the ceiling at 1 a.m.
Your mind rarely slows. It loops. Replays. Forecasts. Catastrophizes. And slowing down or rest? Feels like opening a door you don’t trust yet.
It’s like no one really gets it-how much you’re holding, how hard you’re trying, how alone you feel inside the competence. And, that creative spark you once had? Dimmed beneath the pressure.
That’s the kind of shift we can work toward, together.
I help emotionally attuned minds and introspective souls heal through trauma and PTSD therapy that’s compassionate, cutting edge, and works.
When Trauma Hides Behind Insight and Compassion
At work. In relationships. In parenting.
Being a high-capacity human means you experience the world on a sensitive frequency. You notice what others miss…tone, energy, silence…and feel it in your bones.
Your high-empathy, caring nature is your magic, a gift that allows you to feel, connect, and love deeply.
Trauma might have dulled your inner glow but together, we’ll kindle it back to life.
"Just where you are, that's the place to start."

Parenting with Trauma: Healing the Past to Nurture the Present
Parenting is tough - and if you’ve been through trauma but still manage to make it all work, it can feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
You:
※ Worry your kids can sense your struggles (spoiler: they see your love more than anything else).
※ Get overstimulated fast-the noise, the mess, the endless demands.
※ Parent from a place of fear, afraid of repeating cycles you swore you’d break.
※ Feel like you’re failing, even though you’re doing more than enough.
※ Collapse into bed at night, totally spent…and still wonder if you should’ve done more.
※ Love your kids fiercely. But there’s a part of you that fears, no matter how hard you try, the past will find its way into their lives.
You want to be the parent who feels steady and centered, able to embrace the joy of parenting without being held back by old shadows. That’s possible, and together we can make that happen.
Navigating Relationships: When Trauma Colors Your Emotional World
⁑ You love hard. You love fiercely and give deeply, even when part of you worries you don’t deserve that love back. Trauma makes it hard to feel truly safe in relationships.
You also:
⁑ Overanalyze texts, tone, and body language, wondering you’ve upset someone.
⁑ Avoid conflict and confrontation, often swallowing your own needs to keep the peace.
⁑ Find yourself in one-sided relationships, giving endlessly but rarely receiving.
⁑ Feel emotionally drained from caring for everyone else’s feelings.
⁑ Struggle with trust-clinging tightly or pushing people away before they can hurt you.
⁑ You crave connection. But what if they really see all the parts of you you try to hide?
Past pain has taught you to protect yourself by shrinking, silencing, overcompensating. You second-guess your impact, wondering if your emotions or needs are too heavy for others.
I see you. You’re not what you fear, but exactly who you're meant to be.
When Trauma Hijacks Your Work: Finding Balance Beyond Burnout
Work isn’t just work. It’s an unending emotional mountain you’re climbing every day.
You’re the one who takes on more because disappointing people feels uncomfortable.
The one who sometimes slides into people pleasing and perfectionism, even though you know how exhausting it is. And underneath all of it? That sneaky imposter syndrome whispering: What if I’m not really good enough?
⟶ You feel like you’re walking on eggshells, dodging confrontation.
⟶ You say yes (again), even when you’re already drowning.
⟶ You replay conversations on a loop, wondering if you said the wrong thing.
⟶ Your brain is in overdrive, scanning for what’s about to go wrong.
⟶ By the time you leave work, you’re emotionally spent… yet you still have to show up at home as if you’re not completely spent.
Here’s the thing: This isn’t just stress. This is trauma showing up in your nervous system-and you don’t have to keep living this way.
Trauma Therapy That Sees You: Compassion for Your Unique Journey
Your nervous system isn’t beyond repair…it’s just been working overtime to keep you safe. Those old survival patterns? They’re outdated now and no longer truly help you.
⁜ Imagine a day where you don’t have to fake a smile. Where you feel calm. Grounded. Where the past no longer interferes.
This isn’t just wishful thinking. This is healing. And it’s possible for you.
Cutting-Edge Therapies to Untangle Trauma and Reclaim Your Peace
This journey is about untangling trauma, releasing it, and finding freedom on the other side.
I’m here to guide you through this with a nurturing, innovative, and flexible approach that’s as unique as you are. It’s not just about managing - it’s about living.
I use research-backed trauma therapies like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting Therapy (BSP), and Trauma-Informed Hypnosis.
⟶ EMDR goes deeper than talk therapy alone, helping rewire your brain’s response to trauma. You’ll feel less triggered, less reactive, and more at peace in your body and mind.
⟶ Brainspotting locates and processes trauma stored in the body through focused eye positioning, unlocking profound healing beyond words.
⟶ Trauma-Informed Clinical Hypnosis calms your nervous system and accesses subconscious resources to ease PTSD symptoms and anxiety.
I also integrate other therapies to ease anxiety and support healing from PTSD, complex trauma, childhood wounds, attachment trauma, medical trauma, religious trauma, and sexual trauma.
How Trauma Healing Empowers Deep Thinkers and Sensitive Souls
Trauma doesn’t have to define you. You can rediscover your true self and live the life you deserve. Because being an introspective, highly attuned person with trauma doesn’t mean you’re destined to a life of anxiety, exhaustion, and people pleasing.
Your kindness and empathy are not just part of who you are-they’re strengths.
The pain you’ve carried is not yours to hold forever. You deserve to heal, thrive, and fully embrace the beautiful person you are.
With the right trauma therapy, you can:
↠ Quiet the anxiety, overthinking, and fear that something bad is going to happen.
↠ Release the guilt, shame, and self-blame you’ve been carrying.
↠ Heal from the past instead of reliving it on repeat.
↠ Set boundaries without feeling guilty (yes, it’s possible!).
↠ Feel good enough without proving, perfecting, or over-giving.
↠ Stop feeling like you have to “fix” everything.
↠ Experience relationships where you can be seen, heard, and supported.
↠ Be the parent you want to be without bearing the burden of the past.
Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone you’re not. It means becoming more of yourself.
Without fear. Without shame. Without the past holding you back.
