About me

My purpose in my career is to guide my clients to a more joyful, validated, and empowered life. I specialize in treating addictive behaviors, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, codependency, and relational struggles. I thoroughly believe in transparency and explaining the why behind every intervention that I suggest. I utilize multiple modalities based upon the client’s strengths, including, but not limited to: cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavioral therapy, expressive therapies, existential therapy, exposure therapy, recovery coaching, psychoeducation, solution focused therapy, mindfulness based therapy, narrative therapy, Gottman strategies, and harm reduction. I have extensive experience working in individual, couples, family, outpatient, and inpatient settings. As a person in long-term recovery and a sur-thriver through adverse life experiences, my heart and passion are in helping individuals and families learn and overcome their challenging experiences, reclaim their power, and live a fulfilled, joyful life.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

“ACT helps clients to acknowledge their relationship with their thoughts and feelings. Understand their feelings instead of changing them. Reframe their values. Adjust their behaviors to better match their values. Increase psychological flexibility. Live a life consistent with their values.”

Attachment-based

Attachment style is an important viewpoint of relational understanding and management. Understanding the why behind problematic behaviors within a relational dynamic will help to eliminate confusion and conflict.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT allows us to change the way that we view ourselves and the world. It allows us to challenge subjective ideas and frameworks (cognitively and behaviorally) that no longer serve us.

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT strategies will be used for mood regulation, impulse control, and challenging negative ideas.

Ashley is so attentive and a great listening ear while still providing sound, actionable suggestions that don't feel prescriptive, but rather eye opening. She has helped me navigate anxiety and manage my relationships in such a profound way. Speaking with her helps me untangle my thoughts and see things in a new light. The techniques & perspective shifts I've gained working with her are priceless. I always look forward to our chats and I'm super grateful for Ashley.
