Hi, I'm Ashley! I help women tap into their resilience, restore hope, and transform their lives with authenticity, compassion, and a passion for seeing women thrive. I like to consider myself THE therapist for women. My mission is to help individuals navigate life’s difficulties to become the best possible versions of themselves. Both my clinical and personal experiences have taught me that, though we cannot control everything, we can control our behaviors, perspectives, beliefs, actions, and HEALING. I plan to equip you with the tools needed to promote your overall well-being and facilitate lasting positive change. I hold EMDR and talk therapy sessions with clients who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and difficulty navigating challenges and transitions. However, I specialize in perinatal mental health, infertility, and EMDR. In addition, I run a support group for women struggling with infertility. Through additional training and certifications, I have and continue to develop a variety of tools to support you, and I may use different techniques during our work together. Accordingly, my approach is best described as client-centered and strengths-based, drawing also on theories and strategies of cognitive-behavioral therapy. When I am not practicing as a therapist, I am spending time with my family. We love to stuff our faces with tasty food and find new adventures. I also dabble in wedding photography as a creative outlet. But generally, you will find me advocating for women struggling with infertility and all the experiences it brings. I can't wait to work with you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will do brief introductions and complete the full intake. The intake includes questions about why you are looking to start therapy and background information about you. There will also be time for you to ask questions and get to know a little more about me.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am highly skilled in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and helping clients navigate life transitions and challenges. I specialize in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), infertility, and EMDR Therapy.

My treatment methods

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of psychotherapy that has been extensively researched and is recommended for the treatment of trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and other stressful life events. It is a comprehensive approach that integrates the mind, body, and emotions in the healing of trauma. EMDR facilitates fundamental changes in your beliefs about yourself and how you function in your daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I am highly skilled at providing cognitive behavioral therapy. During your sessions I apply tools and practices to assist you with understanding how your thoughts effect your feelings and behaviors. We will work on how to tweak your thinking to adjust your feelings and behaviors.

Christian Counseling

I am open to integrating a client's Christian faith into our sessions.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I collaborate with clients to assist them with problem solving and navigating difficult life situations.
