Hey, I'm Ashton!
As a coastal-loving, outdoorsy soul from South Carolina, I find solace in nature and enjoy painting, journaling, and DIY projects. My furry companion, Roxi, even joins me at the office! With over a decade of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR), I specialize in trauma and work with diverse populations, especially First Responders. My Christian faith informs my practice, though I welcome all clients. I'm passionate about helping people improve their well-being, relationships, and life satisfaction. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation or to schedule your first appointment!
