My Approach to Helping

Sometimes it's easier when someone is by our side to navigate life with us. I am passionate about helping hurting women heal from trauma and other issues that impact their daily life and ability to thrive. I have training in complicated grief and loss, trauma, adoption and placement issues, anxiety and depression, and many other issues that women struggle with. I am a seasoned social worker therapist and would love to help you navigate this season of your life.

More Info About My Practice

Beauty for Ashes is a private practice for women. After experiencing the benefit of therapeutic intervention for my own traumatic loss, my greatest desire professionally is to encourage other women to keep hoping and believing that health and healing are possible. In addition to my years of professional experience, I also have personal experience that I believe gives me greater empathy, grace, compassion, and relatability than others. People-helping is not only what I do, it's who I am.

My Role as a Therapist

My role as a therapist is not to give you the answers to life's problems. My role is to provide a safe space for you to discover who you are and who you'd like to be after counseling. I believe that my role is to be a bouncing board, a good listener and an extender of grace and acceptance. It is to offer thought provoking and challenging questions that allow you to dig deeper and find your own answers to the struggles you are facing.
