In this first entry of the Still Waters Counseling blog, I share my story of transitioning from a 17-year photography career into becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Texas. This post explores the experiences that shaped my calling, from working with teens, survivors, and psychiatric patients to integrating faith and mindfulness into my practice. If you’re looking for counseling support, interested in mental health, or curious about starting therapy, this blog offers a warm introduction to who I am, why I opened my private practice, and what Still Waters is all about.
