I am Mrs. Henze ("hen zee") and I have had the pleasure working with children and families in D.S.I.S.D. since August 1998. One of my most favorite parts of the school counseling program is the classroom guidance teaching component. Teaching every kindergarten through fifth grade class  is a wonderful learning and preventive opportunity. Presenting topics such as the district's tiger traits  and the Texas Education Agency guidance strands helps me reach all children and give them life tools for both academic and social emotional success. I love hearing from parents about the lessons their children come home and apply. I also enjoy teaching small groups of children during group counseling sessions as well as being available for individual short term counseling. 

I am a native Texan-born in San Antonio and raised in nearby Austin. I have seen  a lot  of changes in  Austin and its surrounding communities. When I was in elementary school, Dripping Springs was in the "boondocks" and Slaughter Lane was a gravel road!  I  attended the University of Texas in Austin where I earned my teaching degree and met my husband. For my master's degree in counseling and guidance, I attended Southwest Texas State University (now TSU)  in San Marcos. Our family lives in Dripping Springs, so besides seeing me at DSE, you might find me enjoying time with my family at Girl Scout and Cub Scout events,  DSUMC or the DSYSA  fields.
