Hello! My name is Ashley, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is warm and comforting. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, couples and families through a wide range of challenges. I have walked along side many individuals, couples and families who experience symptoms of depression, anxiety as well as difficulties in coping with life changes, transitions and traumas. As a psychotherapist, I believe in providing my client’s with a safe and supportive environment which I aim to create with empathy and compassion. My therapeutic approach is a blend between Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which allows me to provides a unique therapeutic experience for each of my clients. My counseling style is warm and curious. I believe in helping others find the best version of themselves by breaking patterns and healing traumas. I value each individuals story and feel honored in being entrusted to hear and partake in it. It is my goal and desire as a therapist to help you find peace and stability in this overwhelming world.

My favorite thing about Ashley is that she always makes it clear that I am in control of my life and I have the freedom to make my own decisions. I'm aware that sometimes therapists try to challenge their clients' perspectives, but whenever I tell Ashley how I feel about a situation or how I feel about a decision that I made, she never tells me that I was wrong or that I need to change my mind. Ashley always makes the effort to meet me where my mind is at, and I really appreciate that.
