Substance Use Therapists in Waco, TX

I have experience working with teens and young adults processing trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment issues, relationship issues, substance use and abuse, and life transitions. My goal is to offer compassion and support to encourage clients to explore any barriers to their life ambitions. My hope is that clients feel seen and validated throughout each session. Therapy is designed to be an open space for safety, comfort, and a place to identify anxieties that create limitations. Everyone is capable of feeling whole and confident in pursuit of their best lives.

As Soren Kierkegaard says, “Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.” I have years of training in forensic psychology and counseling techniques dealing with adolescents, adults, individuals, couples, and marriage and family counseling. My specialization includes group therapy in areas of intimacy and addiction. I am specialized in dealing with moderate and more serious mental health issues especially anxiety, impulsivity, and depression.

My areas of specialty include first responder PTSD, substance abuse, trauma, anxiety/depression, relationship discord, and mindfulness. I am EMDR trained and have extensive experience utilizing EMDR to resolve trauma associated with first responder experiences, accidents, grief/loss, military combat, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, and more. My work, as well as my personal life, is grounded in mindfulness. When we train our attention to stay in the present moment, we become much more aware of the stories we tell ourselves and how much suffering we experience as a result.

I specialize in an evidence-based treatment called dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and have been intensively-trained in DBT through Behavioral Tech in Seattle.

Are you dreading another day of waking up overwhelmed by worry, sadness, and the feeling that you are losing control? Maybe you have experienced things that have you feeling weighed down by an unshakeable weight. Anxiety and trauma can feel like being numb one moment then on-edge or jumpy the next. You may find yourself irritable at times and wanting to avoid lots of things to maintain calm, making it difficult to manage everyday tasks and healthy relationships. These heavy feelings can yield what feels like chaos and helplessness in our lives. Therapy is the next best step and gives you the ability to navigate these feelings.

Have you struggled with your past? Are unhealthy coping strategies taking over your life? Are the things that use to bring enjoyment no longer enjoyable? I specializes in anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or self-worth, relationship issues and addiction. I have been working with people who need extra support in these areas for years. I can help process life challenges and establish new ways to deal with those challenges!

Often families, friends & colleagues will find themselves questioning options & even feeling they have tried everything to help someone struggling with alcoholism/addiction & mental health issues. The long standing belief that a person must reach rock-bottom before they will accept help is a distracting & dangerous lie. There is a way to intervene & create a safer rock bottom & help create a healthier life for ourselves as well as our loved one struggling with the addiction. The clinical intervention process has proven overwhelmingly successful in bringing about life-changing experiences for everyone involved in the intervention.

Welcome! As you seek out psychotherapy for yourself or your child, I hope this page helps in determining if I may be a good fit as a provider. At the heart of therapy is relationship- a building of trust that allows for desired change to unfold.

My goal is to bring evidenced-based care to people seeking a life worth living- a rich, full life with healthy relationships with others and with themselves.
