Ashley believes in the restorative power of being heard and approaches each person with curiosity. Her first goal always is to provide you with a welcoming space to tell your story and know that your story is worthy of being heard.

She provides a non-judgmental atmosphere that allows you to candidly reflect on yourself, your circumstances, and your struggles. Ashley takes a multi-theory approach to psychotherapy. This allows her to take the whole person into account – mind, body, and soul. Her emphasis is on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. She works with individuals, ages 18 and up, who are dealing with anxiety and/or depression, postpartum anxiety and/or depression, trauma, abuse, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and grief.
