Someone once asked me, "Ashley, what is the number one thing that brings people to counseling?" I laughed and answered, "PEOPLE. People bring people to therapy!" We've all heard that adage: "People go to therapy for the people in their life that WON’T go to therapy”, and it's funny because it's absolutely true! As a professional counselor, I have never met someone who didn't have a story. Everyone has PEOPLE! Everyone has family struggles and relationship issues. Everyone has trouble processing emotions when they feel overwhelmed. Everyone needs someone to confide in and feel safe with, and that's what therapy can be for you.

Life has challenges; some up and some down. We can feel anxious, sad, alone or sometimes just stuck with no clear direction and no one we can turn to. That's when we find ourselves needing a partner to walk alongside us as we navigate the things life throws our way. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly a decade and a half of experience assisting individuals who took a big step towards wellness by doing just what you are doing today and looking for a counselor who you can trust.

Welcome! I'd like to commend you for taking this first step to improving your mental health, development, and/or relationship(s). The decision to attend counseling is not always easy to make, and it can also be difficult to find a therapist that is right for you. Research shows that the counseling relationship is the biggest determining factor of whether or not therapy will be successful, so it's crucial to find someone you can click with and build a connection with. I hope I can be that person for you and help you feel supported, cared for, and empowered to make any changes you'd like to make in your life.

We go through so much in our lives. Love and loss molds us to who we are today. People who have come me for counseling seek a voice, want a safe place to share their life's experiences and have a need to be understood. I offer a kind, non judgmental atmosphere, some guidance through points & places where change has happened or where change is needed in our lives. Together we will learn more about ourselves. We will continue to grow.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or lost in the midst of life's challenges? I understand how it feels to carry the weight of emotional burdens. But here's the good news: you don't have to face it alone. We can navigate through the darkness and find the light within you, identifying resilience and understanding your goals for a more positive quality of life.
