Finding Meaning
Seeking clients who want to step more fully into their lives.
For clients with existential concerns.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) in Austin, TX as well as a writer. I like to work with individuals who are committed to being true to themselves.

Education:
Bachelor of Arts in English
Master of Arts in Counseling
