I am the proud owner of Beauty for Ashes Counseling and Consulting, and my vision is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can work through hard things and move toward peace and healing.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. My work includes helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, anger, self‑esteem and self‑love, relationship conflict, and the impact of physical or emotional trauma.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and client‑centered. I treat every person with respect and compassion, and I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs. I draw from cognitive‑behavioral therapy, solution‑focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and client‑centered modalities to support meaningful change.
Seeking help takes courage, and you’ve already taken the first step. My hope is to walk alongside you as you grow, heal, and become the strongest, most grounded version of yourself.
