Life is full of moments.
Moments of joy that we wish we could capture and hold forever. Moments of anticipation as we stand on the edge of what is next. And then there are moments of darkness. Those moments that rob us of joy and seep into every aspect of our lives so that darkness is all we see when we look around.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples, but work with people of all ages and phases of life to help you find light when your story has been marred by darkness.
Renewal is possible.
You have a story filled with hope and possibility. I want to help you look through the significant moments of your life and your relationships. We will make sense of them as one cohesive story. I work with you to examine the ways you have learned to cope with the difficult and often traumatic parts of life and see how those ways of coping are no longer working.
I am dedicated to helping you find new ways of relating to your story, to others, and to the difficult things that come your way.
Get to know Renewal Counseling
Making the decision to begin therapy is not an easy one. I understand the inner tension between the desire for healing and the fear of being vulnerable and exploring your story. My true passion is walking alongside those that choose to walk into the harmful parts of their story in search of light. During our time together I will provide space for you to share your burdens, heal, and experience renewal in your relationships.
I have lived in Fort Lauderdale for 11 years and have a heart for this city and its people. I look forward to starting this journey with you.

ASHLEY KIRKMAN, LMHC
“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy - the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
