Grief counselors and therapists in Minnesota

If you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with focus, or experiencing anxiety, mood changes, or difficulty finding balance, you're not alone—and the right support can make a meaningful difference.

I am a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. My clinical experience includes treating ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, sleep disorders, and eating disorders.

Because of my dual certification, I approach care with the understanding that mental and physical health are deeply interconnected. When both are addressed together, individuals are better able to achieve stability, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.

My practice combines clinical expertise, careful observation, and evidence-based guidelines to create individualized treatment plans. I strive to provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care in an environment where patients feel heard, supported, and respected.

As a fully licensed therapist for 4+ years Ashley has had experience working with a wide range of clients. Recently she has begun to focus on women's health, ADHD and those with addiction issues.

I have been a counselor by calling most of my life but finished my official training and master’s program in 2015 from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. People often ask me why I do this work. The honest answer is, I truly believe counseling works! I have seen the darkness, and watched it turn to light. Providing a spark of hope for others is indeed a gift. There is hope for anyone and everyone, if you are willing to do the work. As believers, we also know that we are not alone in our healing. We have the great counselor in all our sessions to help lead the way. One that will never leave you or forsake you, in or out of session.

Therapy with me will be holistic, person-centered, integrating your story as you slow down, seek clarity and pursue a conscious, welcomed change.
