Grief counselors and therapists in Madison, WI

The therapeutic process is one of endless discovery and self-empowerment. Seeking out help is a valiant first step in this personal journey to befriend yourself. Befriending yourself greatly opens the internal space to invite others in so that we might have fuller, richer, and more wholesome relationships with those we love and those we’ve yet to meet. If you seek to reconnect, or connect more deeply, with your inherent goodness, then please reach out. I am deeply excited by the prospect of being able to share this experience with you.

I think it is important to know that I am a very genuine person who strives to make the counseling space feel warm and safe.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked within the mental health field for the past four years. With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and English and a Masters of Science in Counselor Education, I have experience with developing strong and trusting relationships, helping individuals process their emotions, and blending therapeutic approaches for creative solutions.

I have experience working with a range of clients including children who are five and older, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in a variety of settings from clinical to school-based, and feel comfortable and confident in creating an environment in any space to help individuals feel comfortable and promote optimal growth and well-being. I have experience helping clients with anxiety, adjustment disorders, depression, life transitions, stress, and eating disorders as well as providing a setting for clients to learn skills and insights to manage and regulate their emotions.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. My journey to becoming a therapist was shaped by a fascination with the mind-body connection and a commitment to helping people manage complex challenges. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with experience across high-acuity settings and diverse populations.

This background allows me to support individuals facing chronic mental health challenges, life transitions, and the lasting effects of trauma. I also integrate complementary techniques such as mindfulness, somatic exercises, movement, and visualization to enhance emotional regulation and overall well-being. I’m here to provide a safe, collaborative space where we can work together to build coping skills, uncover strengths, and move toward lasting clarity and growth.

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.
