I am a licensed professional counselor who enjoys private practice and creating small group opportunities to explore and create.
I have powerful threads intricately woven into my personal and professional learning path, including the importance of respectfully engaging the body in the healing process, the value of the widerView, and a deep reverence for the natural world.
