Children and Adolescents

Suicide and self-harm rates are higher than ever, even among children as young as 10. Despite the constant connection of cell phones and social media, many children and teens still feel lonely and disconnected. Now, more than ever, they need an outlet—an objective ear to hear their stories and a real human being to connect with.

I have spent most of my adult life working with children and adolescents in Waco, TX, and not just in a counseling setting. In previous roles, I served as a youth minister, working with a diverse teen population, and as a foster care case manager and program director, supporting children and families from all walks of life. I even took an unexpected turn into the quick-serve restaurant industry—where, beyond serving food, my true purpose was investing in the lives of the young people around me.

Today, as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Waco, that same passion drives me to create a safe, welcoming environment where youth can feel heard, understood, and accepted.
