About me

Hi! I'm Ashley. Are you looking to gain some relief in your everyday life and create a more satisfying meaningful life experience? Are you affected by your relationships with family, friends, co-workers or yourself? In life we can hit difficult times and you may be challenged to dig deep and reflect to find the wisdom by the challenges you are facing. Ultimately these challenges can can enrich our lives and relationships if we take the time to incorporate them and understand. You don’t have to process things alone it is an honor to walk along side you and help to "digest" your experience and gain clarity in your situation.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the initial session I will be asking many questions about you to get to know you and what led up to you reaching out for support. We will discuss what you hope to gain out of therapy and goals for treatment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I offer warmth, curiosity, non-judgement and empathic support. I genuinely want to get to know you and feel it is a tremendous honor to get to work along side clients to help you arrive at your own answers. We often already hold our own truths however just need the guide and space of a safe nonjudgemental third party to help us in our own process.

I’ve been working with Ashley for a little over a year and can confidently say her approach and perspective has improved my life significantly. She has a unique ability of balancing validation with accountability while helping break down complex emotions that seem overwhelming.

Ashley was welcoming and warm. It takes time for me to open up and this will be a process for me.
