Couples therapists in Waco, TX

“If we want to not just survive but also to thrive in this always challenging world, we have to intentionally develop our capacity to act with courage.” My job is to help you find and develop that courage for the challenges of life.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families who want more than just relief from stress or conflict—they want meaningful change. I believe courage isn’t about being fearless; it’s about showing up honestly, even when it’s uncomfortable, and taking small, intentional steps toward the life and relationships you want. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and uncover new ways of responding that feel more aligned with who you truly are.

Life is genuinely hard sometimes, and you deserve a counselor who gets that. As a former teacher and mother of five, I have seen how stress, family dynamics, and caregiving can quietly take a toll. I earned my master's in School and Clinical Counseling after watching students struggle, and I have since worked with families, youth, caregivers, and individuals facing everyday challenges. I would love to help you find more balance, too.

Taking the step to seek support isn’t easy, and I want to honor the courage it takes to be here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Life Coach, and retired Army veteran who believes caring for your mental health is essential to living a balanced, fulfilling life. I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves. I work with teens and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or major life transitions, and I strive to meet you with respect, compassion, and understanding.

I do not provide treatment for individual female clients

If you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or ongoing conflict in your relationships, you don’t have to face it alone. I work with adult men, couples, and families who are ready to make changes but aren’t sure where to start. Together, we’ll slow things down, understand what’s really going on underneath the surface, and create a path toward more stability, connection, and peace in your life.

I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.
