I’m an Ohio LISW-S with 14 years of behavioral health experience, providing individual, couples, and relationship therapy. My approach is collaborative, practical, sex-positive, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions, relationships, identity, intimacy, and life experiences while building practical skills, increasing self-awareness, and creating meaningful, sustainable change.
Our first session is about getting to know you—not expecting you to have everything figured out. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what has been weighing on you, and what you would like to change or better understand. My style is conversational and relaxed, and we’ll work together to identify goals at a pace that feels comfortable and realistic for you.
I bring authenticity, compassion, clinical experience, humor, and accountability into the therapy room. I combine CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches with practical tools clients can use outside of session. I create an affirming space for conversations about trauma, relationships, intimacy, sexuality, and personal growth.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and create meaningful change in their life. I enjoy working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, intimacy or sexual concerns, communication difficulties, identity, and major life transitions. I especially value clients who want a supportive, open-minded, and judgment-free space where they can be authentic, explore difficult topics, and work toward greater confidence, connection, and emotional well-being.
I use a person-centered approach by meeting clients where they are and creating a supportive, accepting, and nonjudgmental space where they can feel heard and understood. I believe clients are the experts on their own lives, so therapy is collaborative and guided by each person’s individual needs, strengths, values, and goals.
I use a strengths-based framework throughout my clinical work to help clients identify, access, and expand the internal and external resources that support resilience and change. My experience with this approach is grounded in the belief that individuals come to therapy with existing competencies, values, and coping skills that can be leveraged to promote growth, healing, and improved functioning.
I use a trauma-informed approach by creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can move at a pace that feels comfortable for them. I focus on understanding how past experiences may impact current emotions, relationships, behaviors, and coping patterns while emphasizing choice, collaboration, empowerment, and personal strengths throughout the therapeutic process.
I use sex therapy to help clients explore concerns related to intimacy, sexual wellness, desire, communication, relationships, and sexual identity in a safe, affirming, and judgment-free environment. My approach is sex-positive, kink-aware, and inclusive of diverse relationship structures, with a focus on helping clients improve communication, build confidence, strengthen connection, and develop a healthier relationship with sexuality and intimacy.

Always easy to talk to, Like a friend who wants to listen to your random thoughts and emotions.. A friend who gives better advice to fix things as well. lol. I look forward to therapy unlike before where i dreaded knowing i had to go over trauma that i try to avoid.

I really liked how she was straightforward with what she is expecting and how her program works. I loved that she allows baby steps into healing and does not want me to rush the process.

For the first time I truly think that I've found the therapist for me. I've struggled for the last 14 years of my life trying to find the right fit and I'm so grateful I finally have. Ashley has given me more reassurance in myself and the vailiditity of my struggles than any other other therapist in my life. I actually look forward to going to my therapy appointments again.
