This is what I know:

In my family, we have Neurodivergence, some anxiety, depression, grief, life stages, chronic illnesses and conditions and pain issues.

My belief: You are the Key to your Solutions!

I came to counseling after realizing at age 16 that I was meant to be counselor. Since then, working as a Sp. Ed. teacher and a regular education and Sp. Ed. counselor and in IOP therapy have added up while I persisted to make my dream come true to be an LPC. Yes, dreams do come true!

Personally, I offer experience and life perspective learned from nearly all the eras of our human experience and I hope to share it with my clients.

Therapies and techniques, and plans are customized just for you: Person-Centered, Cognitive - Behavioral, Solution Focused, and Self - Expression and Mindfulness through art and nature. All are holistically for your mind, body and spirit benefit.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Laredo, TX

Finding family therapists in Laredo starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and relationship patterns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match the concerns you want to address.

In a mid-sized city like Laredo, your search may include therapists with local offices as well as therapists who offer virtual appointments across Texas. Virtual care can expand your options if you need more scheduling flexibility or want to include family members in different locations. Family sessions may involve the full family, smaller groups, or individual members, depending on the goals of care. Before booking, read therapist bios to understand how each therapist structures sessions, who they typically work with, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Laredo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists, review upfront cost estimates, and see who is accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway before booking. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
