Ashley S.
I bring experience supporting families, adolescents, young adults, and women through a wide range of challenges. I provide mental health support to teenagers and young adults, addressing diverse issues with compassion and understanding. My work includes providing compassionate care to survivors of domestic violence, as well as supporting individuals and families navigating infertility and NICU journeys—experiences that I understand both professionally and personally. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have extensive experience helping clients process and heal from trauma in a safe, grounded, and empowering environment. As a faith-based clinician, I am also able to integrate spiritual perspectives into therapy for clients who desire it, creating a holistic and personalized approach to healing. My goal is to offer a welcoming, empathetic space where you feel heard, supported, and equipped to move forward with strength and clarity.

Ideal clients
Ability to support individual seeking therapeutic support through a difficult or transitional season—someone who needs a steady, empathetic presence and who may appreciate trauma-informed, faith-sensitive care tailored to their unique story. Teens or young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, identity concerns, academic or social pressures, or family conflict. Survivors of trauma or domestic violence who want a safe, structured therapeutic space to process their experiences and begin healing through evidence-based approaches like TF-CBT. Individuals or couples facing infertility, high-risk pregnancy, or NICU experiences who need empathetic support from someone familiar with these journeys both professionally and personally. Clients who value a Christian faith-integrated perspective, or who want therapy that honors their spiritual beliefs alongside mental health work. Anyone seeking a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative relationship where they feel deeply heard, emotionally supported, and guided toward clarity, resilience, and healing.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
Treatment method is focused on identifying and using a client’s existing abilities, resources, and resilience to support healing and growth. Instead of centering on deficits, therapy highlights what is going well and builds on the client’s inherent strengths. This approach fosters empowerment, hope, and collaboration by helping clients recognize their capacity to create meaningful change.
