about Ashley
Ashley is passionate about creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. Rooted in a person-centered approach, she meets people where they are—with empathy, compassion, and a genuine curiosity about their story.
Her love for enhancing others' mental health comes from a lifelong understanding that life is both beautiful and challenging. We all go through seasons when support makes a difference, and she considers it an honor to walk alongside people during those times.
Ashley draws from evidence-based practices like CBT, attachment theory, and narrative therapy to help clients create meaningful, lasting change. She also incorporates mindfulness, insight, and accountability through a restorative lens—helping individuals build on strengths and move forward with clarity and confidence.
With children, she integrates play therapy and bibliotherapy to support emotional growth in fun, age-appropriate ways. She believes healing isn’t just about addressing pain but also about nurturing potential. Her goal is to provide a space where clients feel safe to be honest, brave enough to grow, and empowered to find what works for them.
Counseling Experience
Professionally, Ashley served as a Mental Health Specialist in a child and adolescent psychiatric unit, supporting youth in crisis through trauma-informed care and suicide prevention strategies. She also worked as a Therapeutic Educational Assistant at a therapeutic school, using collaborative problem solving to help students develop coping skills, improve communication, and build trust.
Beyond clinical work, she served as a Resource Coordinator at Love in the Name of Christ, supporting families through crisis with presence and practical care. She's co-taught Circle of Security parenting classes, helping caregivers strengthen attachment and foster emotionally secure relationships. She's also co-facilitated DivorceCare for Kids, walking with children impacted by divorce.
Across every role, Ashley's focus has remained the same: showing up with empathy, building trust, and helping others find hope and healing.:
