Are you in need of a more satisfying life? Perhaps you feel like there is no way out of your situation. Do you need freedom from symptoms like anxiety, panic, depression and up-and-down moods?

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.

For over 15 years, I have helped children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families cope with life's adversities, changes and significant events that can have a lasting emotional impact. This includes school issues, peer conflict/bullying, low self esteem, grief/loss, relational and family conflict, divorce, parenting and co-parenting, coping with illnesses, abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors and more. I truly believe that given the right type of treatment at a young age a person can overcome adversities and prevent long term negative effects.

As a psychologist with over 30 years experience, I have particular interest in working with individuals with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, college and work stress, phase of life issues, gay/ lesbian struggles, marital/divorce problems and general relationship issues. My expertise has allowed me to be highly effective in quickly understanding the needs of my patients, to help facilitate an effective treatment plan. Generally, individuals begin to feel better with progress often seen after a few visits. The length of time spent in treatment will be mutually agreed upon, based on the presenting problem and its complexity.
