Therapists in Waco, TX

I am passionate about helping individuals ages 10+ with a variety of presenting issues, including: depression, anxiety, trauma, family of origin problems, communication/boundaries, issues of faith/spirituality, suicidality/self harm, and self-worth. I hope to help my clients accomplish the goals they set for themselves, and to walk with them as they establish healthy rhythms. In my work, I like to focus on holistic health - mentally, emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually. I believe above all, my clients need a safe space to be heard and to process what they are experiencing, and it is my greatest joy to provide this.

I aim to assist clients in improving symptoms related to anxiety disorders, depression, suicidal ideations, grief, family and relationship issues, personality disorders, career concerns, school concerns, fear of death and dying in elderly clients, stress management relating to school, trauma history, domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex education. My goal is to develop a treatment plan for the client to reach their goals to improve their interpersonal relationships, self-love, emotional language, communication skills, and more.

I am extremely passionate about guiding people to a better understanding of themselves and "why we do the things that we do". Our perspective dictates our emotional reactions to situations and therefore it affects our behavior; let me help you gain control of your reactions and change your thoughts! I am especially skilled with Depression/Anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse/addiction, sports psychology, relationships/communication, childhood issues, improving self-esteem, grief/loss, identity development and issues related to the child-to-adult transition. Please see my website and blog for more information.

Life can feel overwhelming and challenging at times. My desire is for you to find hope and have a safe place to process life’s many challenges, trauma, stressful life events, depression, anxiety, spiritual abuse and deconstruction, and other personal issues. I recognize the connection that people long for in their relationships with one another and am passionate about helping you experience safety, acceptance and love. I enjoy working with individuals or families who are dealing with childhood trauma, addiction, and foster care or adoption.

Practice serving children 10 and up! I have a passion for children, teens and adults who suffer with anxiety, depression, grief, personality disorders and trauma. I specialize in helping children and young adults in their journey toward empowerment, independence and self discovery. I have a specific insight for children of addicts/alcoholics. I have experience working with diverse populations to include: LGBTQI, children in the foster care system, the elderly, victims of abuse, families and couples. In therapy, I take a person-centered approach to healing that focuses on the client as the expert in their own life.

At various times in our lives, we need a supportive space to set down the mentally and emotionally heavy things that we carry so we can move toward health and happiness. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is devoted to creating a supportive space for each client in their healing journey with warmth, empathy, and unconditional acceptance. I work with all ages but have increasingly developed a passion for working with young children, teens, and young adults over the past 5 years as a child therapist in various rural, non-profit, and school-based settings.

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.

Ever feel like this counseling thing just isn't for you? That traditional talk therapy just goes in circles with some progress but you end up in the same spot. You think, "Maybe I'm too broken." Getting stuck in anxiety, depression, defensiveness, disconnection, etc. can feel never-ending. Like we are always just trying to make it through life rather than fully experience it. Your brain and body is built to help you survive this world. So, when we have a history of trauma our brain and body learns to always be on alert for danger. You're not broken, just stuck in protection modes and your body can learn to find a sense of safety.

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! All of us have challenges at times and may need a little help working through those challenges. I would love to help! I believe everyone has the capacity for change and the ability to improve his or her life. I listen attentively and I am nonjudgmental, allowing you to safely talk about your concerns.

At times, we may look up and realize we are in a transition in life that is overwhelming or disruptive to our sense of well-being. I have a deep belief in our innate ability to move toward healing and wellness and that utilizing psychotherapy can be an important piece of finding supportive resources for your journey. As we seek wellness, our minds, bodies, spirits, and relationships will naturally be effected thus, I work best with individuals and families that place value on the quality of their relationships or desire to live a life focused on deeper connections with one another.

Navigating life can be challenging. That is where I step in. I will work with you and/or your loved ones to reduce conflict and increase positive communication and behavior. I offer DBT in group settings and a combination of DBT and CBT in individual settings. Come to a space where people learn how to regulate emotions, improve mindfulness, increase interpersonal communication, and manage crisis.

My practice focuses on a holistic sense of wellness with foundations in Gestalt and existential theory. I see therapy as a collaborative effort between counselor and client to process through difficult experiences and work to achieve your goals. I will strive to provide a safe and welcoming space to navigate your concerns and guide you through an individually tailored process of growth and healing.

I value the role spirituality plays in self-evaluation, change, growth, healing, relationships & success. I practice from a family systems perspective, helping people discover hindrances holding them back from living a life they love. Counseling is a powerful support resource, especially when wresting with the challenges & the unexpected that life has a way of throwing at you from past to present. I hope you'll consider letting me support you in healing & designing & creating a life you can love living. Ask me about incorporating yoga & art into counseling. Additionally, I offer an empowering Women's Sexuality service.
