You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying the weight of painful past experiences, or noticing patterns you want to change. Perhaps you’re constantly overthinking, questioning yourself, or feeling unsure of yourself in your relationships and daily life.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Before opening my private practice in 2021, I worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings with clients across the lifespan, from children to older adults.
Today, I work with adults mainly experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, as well as those navigating challenges related to relationships, identity, and major life transitions.
Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me doing yoga, or attempting to garden with my dog Ralph by my side.
Something that stands out in regard to me is that I have gathered some valuable wisdom over the years from many excellent mentors and life experience as an educator, vocational ministry, raising my own family, and having worked with many gifted and compassionate people.
My clients describe me as understanding ("getting them as individuals"), caring and collaborative , and a safe place to share what they need to share.
I am a bilingual counselor providing supportive services in both English and Spanish, with a focus on personal growth and resilience; I help individuals and families navigate life transitions, cultural adjustment, and complex grief. My compassionate guidance empowers clients to find balance and lasting emotional well-being.
Imagine what life would be like if you had the space to explore the nuances of the struggles you've been battling. Making the decision to seek professional help is probably one that you have been pondering over for awhile. I specialize in working with multicultural individuals, in particular with South Asian/Middle Eastern natives, as well as those affected by chronic illnesses, issues related to parenting, immigration, and spirituality.
The counseling relationship between you and I is one of mutual respect and responsibility. Starting with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing, we will work together to help you move forward and reach your goals. Therapy is a process that takes place in a non-judgmental environment where you are free to share your thoughts, emotions, and concerns.
I work with older adolescents, adults and couples. Clients come to me for a variety of reasons including recent or past trauma, various forms of abuse, relationship difficulties, life stresses and transitions, depression, grief, anxiety, as well as personal growth and development, among others.

I combine clinical expertise with a warm, approachable style that fosters trust and collaboration.

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.
