ABOUT SHAW
PSYCHOTHERAPY
At SHAW Psychotherapy, I provide a compassionate and inclusive space for adolescents, women, couples, and families to work through life’s challenges and move toward meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles, addressing intimacy concerns, or helping an adolescent manage high-risk behaviors and emotional regulation, I’m here to support you. I offer in-person sessions in Waco to adolescents and individuals and virtual therapy for adults across Texas, making care accessible wherever you are.
​
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), I bring advanced training in intimacy issues, as well as helping adolescents develop healthier coping strategies. My approach is grounded in authenticity and collaboration, empowering you to set goals, explore solutions, and build stronger connections—with yourself and with others.
