Trauma Therapy at The Well

Hi, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. At The Well Counseling & Consultation, my mission is to help individuals and families heal from the lasting effects of trauma. Whether you’ve experienced combat, crisis response, abuse, loss, or chronic stress, I want you to know there is hope—and you don’t have to face it alone.

Trauma can reshape the way you see yourself and the world. It can make everyday life feel heavy, unpredictable, or disconnected. But healing is possible. Through a trauma-informed, compassionate, and individualized approach, I help clients find safety, understanding, and renewed strength.

A Holistic, Evidence-Based Approach

In trauma therapy, I integrate multiple modalities to meet each client’s unique needs—addressing both mind and body. These include:

• Sand Tray Therapy: A creative and non-verbal approach that allows you to process memories and emotions symbolically, promoting insight and healing without needing to find the “right” words.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and transform unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that may have developed after trauma, building emotional awareness and stability.

• Motivational Interviewing (MI): Encourages self-compassion and motivation for change by exploring your inner strengths and readiness for healing.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A powerful, research-backed trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge, allowing for clarity and peace.

• Faith-Integrated Counseling (Optional): For those who wish to include spirituality, Christian counseling offers a framework of grace, purpose, and renewal rooted in hope and faith.

These approaches are woven together through a trauma-informed lens, grounded in the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma Recovery—focusing on safety and stabilization, processing traumatic memories, and reconnection with self and others.

What to Expect

Our sessions are collaborative and paced according to your comfort level. We begin by establishing emotional safety, learning grounding and regulation skills, and understanding how trauma affects your nervous system. As trust builds, we work through the memories and patterns that keep you stuck, always with care and respect for your pace.

Every step of the process is designed to help you regain control, restore balance, and reconnect with your sense of identity and purpose.

Why Choose The Well

As a Marine Corps and Army National Guard veteran, former Texas paramedic, and police officer, I understand the toll that trauma, service, and chronic exposure to stress can take. My work is built on lived experience and clinical training—bridging empathy, authenticity, and professional care for those who serve and those who love them.

At The Well, you’ll find a space where your story is honored, your pain is understood, and your healing journey is respected. Whether you’re beginning the process or continuing it after years of carrying invisible weight, I’ll walk alongside you toward hope, peace, and renewal.

Healing doesn’t erase the past—it transforms how you live with it. Let’s take that step together.
