I am proud to say that my pug Stella and I are graduates of the Animal-Assisted Counseling Academy (AACA) at Texas State University. We earned 120 hours through Introduction to AAC, Intermediate Methods in AAC and a clinical practicum. We are currently working on our certification! I firmly believe in the healing powers of animals, and I am so excited to bring my experience and knowledge to Walnut Springs! Please see the link below for more information on the program.
