I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, insomnia, schizophrenia, and substance use challenges, helping them regain balance and confidence in their lives.

My approach to care is warm, empowering, and collaborative. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported while navigating their mental health journey. I work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports emotional well-being, symptom management, and long-term stability.

With experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, I have supported individuals facing complex mental health challenges and life stressors. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy, while incorporating lifestyle and coping strategies that promote lasting wellness.

I am passionate about helping people develop the tools and understanding they need to take control of their mental health. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and working toward meaningful change.

My personal and professional experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others through life’s transitions. As a military spouse for many years, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation, adapting to new environments, and rebuilding support systems. I have experience supporting individuals and families through grief, medical challenges, and emotional stress in both medical and school settings. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. I especially enjoy helping people through significant changes and adjusting to new seasons of 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.
