Making Real Connections®
Creative Counseling
Got Pen? Got paper?
...now think about the challenge question:
"How Many Hats Do You Wear?"
Your roles in your homes and community shape who you are and how you relate with others.
Make your list of the roles and responsibilities you have.
(I think if myself as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, dancer,
Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist)
Most cannot be separated therefore,
I am the star in the performance of my life.
YOU ARE THE STAR OF YOUR OWN SHOW
 REMEMBER FOLKS, THIS IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL!
My interest in believing in others began at an early age with unique ways of "gifting" to the community. Just as envisioned, I am a entertainer/dancer giving you time away from reality. After more than a decade this passion morphed to graduate school to medically connect dance and psychotherapy. Thus, my expertise in providing cutting edge creative art therapy for autism affected familes and those with other mental health disorders developed and I am Making Real Connections®
