I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, starting with understanding your unique needs and experiences. While I'm trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I tailor my approach to what feels most comfortable and helpful for you. My focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we'll work towards developing practical strategies to address your concerns and achieve your goals.

I work with clients to meet their treatment goals by collaboratively developing individualized treatment plans that address their unique needs and concerns. This process typically involves regular sessions focused on building a strong therapeutic alliance, exploring underlying issues, developing coping skills, and implementing strategies to improve overall well-being."

Awesome amazing so blessed for the assistance 5 stars completely

She was only worried about money. About me giving her my credit card number. Even having insurance, she told me she will not talk to me because I don’t want to release a credit card number. It’s just sad to think that someone is reaching out because they feel they need help and they are being turned away for financial reasons. That is saying that if I didn’t have a credit card, I couldn’t talk to her. I would hate to think someone may be suicidal and homeless and because they don’t have a credit card she would refuse them help.

Ashley has been a good therapist in teaching me healthy coping skills, building healthy boundaries, and learning problem solving skills while using my learned assertive skills. She has helped me decrease my symptoms tremendously. I would recommend her for anyone struggling with self esteem problems, depression, anxiety and struggling with self advocacy.

Didn’t go as planned — wanted this to work. Seems like this provided is busy( on a personal level) and doesn’t have much time to commit to sessions. She missed our second appt— didn’t email until days later. There is one to assist with question when completing intake and guide through paper work. Seemed like a rush visit.
