About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience, trained in several evidence based therapeutic interventions. I believe in the strength that lives inside of all of us, and see my role as your supporter and champion. I believe in the value and power of relationships, and know that through relationships and safety, real healing can be achieved. My therapeutic approach is to meet you where you are, and work in partnership with you to help you develop and reach your personal and professional goals
Why did you decide to become a social worker ?
Since a young age, I've had a profound curiosity about understanding the intricacies of human behavior and the motivations that drive us. I have consistently been recognized for my compassion and listening skills, prompting me to channel these attributes into a fulfilling career. I consider myself lucky to genuinely love what I do.
What types of clients are you most excited to work with?
Although I work with clients of all ages, I am especially passionate about working with those who want a change or growth, but do not know where to start"
What's one thing you wish all clients knew?
The importance of self- compassion. I believe self-compassion is vital for promoting mental and emotional well-being, fostering resilience, improving relationships, and supporting personal growth. It can have a profound positive impact on various aspects of life, helping us navigate challenges and thrive.
Why did you choose to practice at Ashe Counseling?
