Corpus Christi, Texas Counseling & Wellness Services

Anxiety counseling is designed to foster inner peace, enhance sleep quality, increase joy, and provide clarity around life's purpose. My role is to offer supportive guidance, teach effective coping strategies, and promote self-awareness to empower you on your path to well-being. Together, we will explore the root causes of your anxiety, such as unresolved trauma, chronic stress, genetic predispositions, or negative thought patterns, including fears, phobias, panic attacks, and persistent worry.

Using grounding techniques, we will address these underlying issues and help you work through your fears, effectively preventing future panic attacks. Our approach will incorporate a variety of therapies and strategies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and relaxation techniques, to bring you to a place of inner peace, joy, and the ability to live in the present moment without overwhelming fear.

We primarily work with individuals who are 100% committed to moving forward and reclaiming their lives. If you are ready to embrace change and tackle the root causes of your anxiety, our counseling services can guide you toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) CBT is a widely used, evidence-based form of psychotherapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with depression. It aims to help individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms by challenging unhelpful thoughts and beliefs.

Lifestyle Changes. Incorporating changes such as a healthy diet, regular sleep patterns, and stress-reduction techniques can support overall mental health and help manage depression.

Release Emotional Blocks. By addressing and removing these emotional blocks, therapy assists individuals in breaking free from cycles that contribute to depression, fostering healthier thought patterns and emotional balance. It's important to engage with a mental health professional to tailor the approach to individual needs and ensure effective treatment.

Addressing emotional blocks such as guilt, shame, self-hatred, and a lack of self-love is crucial in the treatment of depression, as these negative emotions can contribute significantly to the persistence and intensity of depressive symptoms. Here's how these emotional blocks can affect depression and how therapy helps in overcoming them:

 Impact of Emotional Blocks: 

- Guilt and Shame: These emotions can create a cycle of self-blame and worthlessness, reinforcing depressive thoughts. People may dwell on past mistakes or perceived failures, leading to a lack of self-acceptance and increased feelings of hopelessness.

- Self-Hatred Disliking or even hating oneself perpetuates a negative self-image and can exacerbate feelings of despair. This self-critical mindset prevents individuals from recognizing their strengths and achievements.

- Lack of Self-Love: When individuals don’t value or care for themselves, it can result in neglecting basic self-care and sabotaging positive opportunities, reinforcing depressive states.

Trauma can deeply affect both the mind and body, often causing disruptions in the nervous system and influencing one's thoughts and behaviors. With multiple certifications in trauma healing, my approach is holistic and integrates various modalities to restore balance and promote healing. I utilize techniques to calm the nervous system and engage in cognitive processing to reframe traumatic memories. Integrative family systems work helps address relational dynamics, while clinical hypnotherapy delves into the subconscious for deeper change. Additionally, I incorporate art, movement, and sound therapy to facilitate expressive healing and encourage reconnection with one's sense of self.

Hypnotherapy, particularly through neuro-scripting hypnosis, is a powerful tool for fostering neuroplasticity—our brain's ability to form new neural connections and pathways. By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnosis can help rewire long-standing patterns that often lead to self-sabotage. It allows us to identify and alter limiting beliefs, replacing them with empowering thoughts and behaviors. Through this process, individuals can change the underlying programming that influences their choices, leading to healthier, more constructive decision-making. In short, hypnosis helps transform limiting beliefs into a new, positive mindset, enabling profound and lasting change.

Grief counseling provides compassionate support for those navigating the deep sorrow of losing a loved one, whether due to miscarriage, stillbirth, completed suicide, long-term illness, or a sudden unexpected tragedy. Our services are designed to help individuals process their emotions, find healing, and cultivate resilience. We offer a safe space to express your grief, share memories, and explore the complex feelings that accompany loss. With empathy and care, we are here for you every step of the way, guiding you on this journey towards acceptance and peace.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling focuses on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and addressing issues like addictions, lying, betrayal, and narcissistic abuse.

 Role of Therapy

- Challenging Limited Belief Patterns

: Therapy helps individuals identify and dismantle negative belief patterns that keep them stuck. For instance, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can expose distorted thinking and replace it with balanced, more realistic thoughts.

- Promoting Self-Compassion Therapists work with individuals to cultivate self-compassion and forgiveness, encouraging them to treat themselves with kindness and understanding rather than harsh judgment.

- Releasing Emotional Blocks Techniques like mindfulness and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can aid in recognizing and releasing trapped emotions, helping individuals move past guilt and shame.

- Energy Movement: Therapy can involve mind-body approaches, such as movement therapy or somatic experiencing, that focus on moving stagnant emotional energy and promoting a sense of groundedness and calm.

- Fostering Resilience and Hope: By developing coping skills and resilience, therapy helps individuals, couples, and families build hope and a sense of empowerment, allowing them to see beyond their current situation.
