Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Waco, TX covered by Cigna

I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 30 years bringing broad experience and perspective to my sessions. I believe that joining with a client is paramount to establishing trust. Trusting that your provider cares for you, has your best interest at heart and provides you with reasonable and doable solutions is key to growth. If we don’t connect, no harm/no foul. We agree to move on and I will assist with that process, if necessary.

Being a Marriage and Family Therapist, I fundamentally believe the family is a system and if something is going on with one person in the family, it will likely affect other members of the family. As such we are products of our environment. In working together, I will acknowledge that you are the expert of you and provide you with a safe space to explore concerns and build on strengths learning new healthy coping skills.

As your counselor, I will be a partner in developing appropriate treatment plans that accomplish established goals. I believe that human development is a lifelong process and personality and behavior changes are possible at any time. I also believe in the need for a flexible multicultural approach and that the counselor and client are equal partners.

I love working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have worked with people from various backgrounds and cultures throughout my career and these experiences help me to easily connect with my clients. Additionally, I have worked with children and adults with anxiety disorders, provided pre-marital counseling, and addressed spiritual concerns for individuals, couples, and families. I have obtained specialized instruction in working with victims of human trafficking, and persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender. Also, I have experience working with persons of varied ethnic, racial, sexual orientation, and religious backgrounds.

As a Counselor, I am always looking for opportunities to grow and develop my abilities to best serve my clients. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). I am an active member American Counseling Association (ACA) and Texas Counseling Association (TCA). I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to achieve and maintain wellness.

I have a strong passion for learning about the importance of mental health and decided to complete my graduate studies at Capella University. I graduated with a Master’s in Clinical Counseling and completed my practicum hours at a mental health hospital in San Antonio. I have been providing services to the following age groups: aged-school children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience and can offer services to the following: grief, transitions, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, attachment, relationships, and codependency. My well-rounded experience has allowed me to make connections and provide services to people from different backgrounds.

If you have been struggling with anxiety, depression, recovering from a trauma, or you are having relationship problems, then I would like to help you. Maybe there is something else that has been bothering you or maybe you are just under some stress and need someone to talk to. Give me a call or send me an email & I will respond promptly to schedule a brief meet and greet explaining how I can help you find healing and growth. I specialize in mental health counseling from a spiritual perspective.

Hi, I'm Laura! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas with nearly three years of experience working across inpatient psychiatric settings and in-home family therapy. That background has given me a front-row seat to the full spectrum of human struggle, and it's shaped me into a therapist who is warm, grounded, and genuinely unshockable. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, women's issues, trauma, and the everyday weight of just being a person in this world. My sessions are virtual and available most weekday evenings, because healing shouldn't have to wait for a convenient hour. More than anything, I want you to walk into our sessions, even the very first one, feeling like you can exhale. You don't have to perform or polish yourself here. This is a space built for your real, unfiltered self.
