Christian Trauma Therapy in McKinney, TX

Healing PTSD, Shame, and Anxiety Through CPT Therapy and an “In Christ” Identity Framework

You may be carrying experiences that still feel present in your body, thoughts, and emotions. Even if life looks stable on the outside, internally you may feel stuck in fear, shame, emotional overwhelm, or constant self-doubt.

Healing is possible.

I provide trauma-focused Christian counseling that integrates evidence-based therapy with a deeply grounded understanding of identity, meaning, and restoration in Christ.

YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCING…

  • Ongoing anxiety, fear, or hypervigilance

  • Emotional triggers that feel overwhelming or confusing

  • Shame or self-blame connected to past experiences

  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships

  • Feeling stuck even after “trying everything”

  • Spiritual confusion or feeling distant from God after trauma

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone—and there is a path forward.

TRAUMA IS NOT JUST A MEMORY PROBLEM

Trauma affects more than what you remember.

It shapes:

  • how you interpret yourself

  • how you see other people

  • how safe the world feels

  • and even how you understand God and your identity

Many symptoms of PTSD are rooted in deeply held beliefs formed during or after painful experiences.

EVIDENCE-BASED TRAUMA THERAPY WITH A CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION

I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a structured and research-supported treatment for PTSD and trauma recovery.

CPT helps you:

  • Identify trauma-based beliefs (“stuck points”)

  • Understand how trauma shaped your thinking

  • Challenge distorted interpretations

  • Rebuild more accurate, grounded beliefs

  • Reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and emotional distress

In addition to CPT, I integrate approaches such as:

  • EMDR-informed trauma work

  • attachment-based therapy

  • cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

  • interpersonal neurobiology principles

CHRIST-CENTERED IDENTITY RESTORATION

Therapy is not only about changing thoughts—it is also about restoring identity.

From a Christian perspective, trauma does not define who you are.

You are:

  • created in the image of God

  • deeply known and fully seen

  • not defined by what happened to you

  • held by God even in brokenness and suffering

Healing involves both:

  • psychological truth (what actually happened and what it means)

  • and spiritual identity (who you are in Christ)

This integrated approach helps separate:

  • responsibility from shame

  • truth from distortion

  • identity from trauma

HOW HEALING WORKS IN OUR WORK TOGETHER

Therapy is structured but relational, combining clinical clarity with emotional safety.

We will work through:

1. Understanding your story

We identify how past experiences shaped your beliefs and emotional responses.

2. Identifying stuck points

We explore thoughts such as:

  • “I am not safe”

  • “It was my fault”

  • “I am damaged”

  • “I cannot trust anyone”

3. Rebuilding truth-based thinking (CPT)

We gently examine and restructure beliefs using evidence, reflection, and emotional processing.

4. Restoring identity in Christ

We integrate truth, grace, and spiritual grounding to support long-term healing and stability.

  • Reduced PTSD symptoms and emotional reactivity
