Your Compassionate Guide to Transformation and Growth

Hello and welcome!

I'm Ashley, a trauma-focused therapist committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and unlock their true potential. Drawing from my own personal journey, which has encompassed a wealth of lessons and experiences (including, but certainly not limited to!) recovering from CPTSD, living with a loved one's addiction, navigating infidelity, divorce, remarriage and blending families, I have come to understand the incredible power of resilience and personal transformation.

My own encounters with life's trials have shaped my belief in the immense strength of the human spirit. I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact that a calm and focused mind can have on our ability to overcome obstacles and rise above adversity. Through my own journey of healing and being witness to so many other, I have discovered that we all possess the power to evolve and become the best version of ourselves.

At the heart of my therapeutic approach is the belief that curiosity is a catalyst for growth. By cultivating a genuine curiosity about the world around us and embracing a mindset free from judgment, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities for personal and emotional growth. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, harnessing your inner strength and resilience to create the life you envision.

I am passionate about guiding individuals like you through the process of healing and personal development. With a warm and compassionate approach, I provide a safe space for you to explore your emotions, uncover deep-rooted patterns, and embrace positive change. Together, we will work towards building a solid foundation for your well-being, nurturing your growth, and empowering you to navigate life's challenges with confidence and grace.

I invite you to embark on this transformative journey with me. Together, we will tap into your inner resilience, unlock your potential, and create a life that reflects your highest and best self. It is my honor to accompany you on this path of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.

I tailor therapy to the needs of each client in order to achieve the very best possible outcome.  My specialty is helping people just like you heal from trauma, improve their relationships and increase intimacy.  I also assist clients who are searching for deeper meaning and satisfaction from life.  I especially enjoy working with those who are feeling “stuck”.

I work with men and women who:

• feel emotionally unsatisfied or frustrated in their relationships
• crave deeper emotional or physical intimacy or
• struggle with pornography in their relationship

If you want to get technical, I have a humanistic, client-centered holistic approach.  I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprogramming), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and use a variety of modalities in sessions. I am an interpersonal and process-oriented therapist who does not always remain neutral in the therapy room. I have healthy boundaries, but am NOT stiff or rigid. I go "deep" during sessions, and focus on the "there and then" as well as the "here and now".

Although I am a Christian, I respect and welcome all belief systems, races, creeds, nationalities, and sexual orientations. Spanning from conservative Christian PTA moms to more progressive and unconventional lifestyles such as consensual non-monogamy, I've seen it all.  Respectful of your framework and your values, I strive to help you determine what's holding you back from achieving happiness and the best version of yourself and how to go forward.

Life is too short to not give yourself every opportunity to succeed.  Sure, life has its share of ups and downs, but you don’t have to face it alone and when armed with the right tools, it is absolutely possible to have inner peace surrounded by external chaos.
