LGBT therapists in Wyoming

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.

With a background in working with individuals across various age groups, including children, teenagers, and adults, I bring extensive experience to our therapeutic relationship. My focus areas include ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, anxiety, and complex PTSD. I understand that each individual's journey is unique, and I'm here to provide the support you need to navigate the challenges you may be facing.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by your ever-growing to-do list? Between work, dishes, laundry, cooking, and cleaning, you're feeling overwhelmed and shut down, and that's not including kids or school demands. Time management is a constant battle; you procrastinate, lose track of time, and miss important deadlines. It feels impossible to stay on top of everything. Your brain feels scattered and you feel like you’re underachieving, despite your potential and the effort you're putting in.

I couldn’t be happier with my choice of career as a therapist. I decided to make this my career path because I wanted to make a difference for people like you. As someone who has always been told I have a strong sense of empathy and a lack of judgment, I have often been told by my clients that I’m someone who “just gets it.” I love being able to guide people like you to help you become the best version of yourself.

LPC (WY & CO) | Trauma-Informed & Solution-Focused Care

Choosing a therapist is a significant step toward the life you want to lead. I believe that while life can present overwhelming challenges, you possess an innate resilience and the capacity for profound growth. My goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and collaborative space where we can transform those challenges into strengths.

I have been a therapist for 25 years and am currently licensed in both Colorado and Wyoming. My primary emphasis has been in the realm of grief and loss issues (death of a loved one, unresolved grief, job loss, loss of health, loss of meaning, etc.), women's issues, lifespan issues, depression, reactivity, complex PTSD, and relationship counseling. I have an unusual approach to these issues, including a belief in a certain degree of warmth as being healing in the therapeutic relationship.
