She blends a relaxed, welcoming style with focused support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach
That balance helps people make steady progress without pressure to move faster than feels right. Ashley has five years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns, including attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance-related problems. She also supports people facing body image struggles, eating-related issues, dissociation, and communication problems.
Her approach includes Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those approaches shape how she listens and partners with clients to rewrite difficult stories and set achievable steps forward.

Online session options
Using narrative and client-centered work online
Ashley draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach focuses on separating the person from the problem and exploring alternatives to limiting narratives, which can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, trauma, and identity concerns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space. That means sessions often start with listening and reflecting so people can find their own direction. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help clarify goals and strengthen readiness for change in areas like substance use or behavior shifts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let participants use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, daily planning, or processing between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, school, or caregiving schedules.
