Expressive Arts Therapists in Comal County, TX

My specialty is working with clients in that uncomfy realm between feeling like a kid and feeling like an adult.

Let’s rediscover the joy and peace you had as a kid.

You're the expert on your life, so I'll take your lead. Supervised by Faith Ray, LPC-S.
