I help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or weighed down by the past find steadier ground and feel more at peace in their lives. I know reaching out for therapy can feel hard, and I’m glad you’re here. Whether you’re facing a major life change, carrying old pain, or feeling stretched thin by everyday stress, you don’t have to sort through it alone. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling and figure out what you need to feel more hopeful, grounded, and in control.

You may be the person everyone else turns to, while quietly feeling overwhelmed yourself. Maybe anxiety has become part of your daily life, stress never seems to let up, or you're navigating depression, grief, relationship challenges, or a major transition. You may know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start. You don't have to figure it out alone.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults looking for practical, honest, and supportive therapy. I especially enjoy working with men who may have spent years putting their own needs aside or feeling like they have to handle everything on their own. My approach is collaborative and affirming, with a focus on understanding what is keeping you stuck, building on your strengths, and creating meaningful change that carries into your everyday life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Waco

Searching for therapists in Waco starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Waco counselors, look for therapists whose listed specialties match your needs. Their profiles can also show training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

In a smaller city like Waco, local therapist availability can vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, which appointment times work for your calendar, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients. Reading bios before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Waco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details, and are ready to take new patients. You can browse therapists in Waco, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
