Healing the Past, Reclaiming Your FutureTrauma can leave lasting effects — not just on your mind, but also on your body, relationships, and sense of self. At Empower Her Wellness Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed counseling to help you process painful experiences, restore emotional balance, and rebuild trust in yourself and others.

Understanding Trauma and PTSD

Trauma can stem from many experiences, including accidents, abuse, neglect, loss, medical emergencies, birth trauma, or ongoing stress in unsafe environments.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often develops after a single traumatic event, while Complex Trauma (C-PTSD) results from repeated or prolonged exposure to distressing experiences — often in childhood or long-term relationships. Both can cause:

• Flashbacks or intrusive memories

• Anxiety, depression, or emotional numbness

• Difficulty trusting others

• Sleep disturbances and nightmares

• Feeling disconnected from yourself or your surroundings

 

Our Approach to Trauma Recovery

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Registered Nurse, and Board-Certified Hypnotherapist, I combine clinical expertise with holistic healing practices. My trauma recovery approach includes:

 

• Evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused strategies

.• Somatic therapy to release trauma stored in the body

• Mindfulness and guided imagery for emotional regulation and grounding

• Clinical hypnotherapy for subconscious re-patterning and reducing trauma triggers

• Values-centered exploration to restore personal empowerment and meaning

• Build coping tools to reduce anxiety and hypervigilance
