Professional Background
LicensureTexas, Licensed Professional Counselor, 86138
Work History I use a person-centered, strength-based approach when working with clients. I work within a compassionate, open, accepting, and loving environment where I guide and plant seeds for clients to connect to their grace, power, and inner light. Through self-renewing rituals, I teach a client how to explore grounding, stillness, and presence. I utilize the body and movement as a resource to tap into wisdom, hidden processes, and realizations within the “Self” – mind/body/spirit/soul. I help guide a client to become more deeply connected to support fuller expression, health, and vitality.
