Hi, I’m Ashley, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. My professional experience includes residential treatment, in-home services, community-based programs, and school settings. I have worked with individuals experiencing a variety of emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns.

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, grief, anger, emotional dysregulation, relationship concerns, parenting challenges (including parents struggling with managing ADHD & ASD (autism) Child development), self-esteem, and major life transitions. I also enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and break patterns that may no longer be serving them.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable being your authentic self and supported as you work toward meaningful change.
