I work with individuals and couples navigating complex relationship issues. If you and your partner are struggling with escalating conflict, constant fighting, betrayal, or simply feeling disconnected from one another, let me help you build a love that lasts. If you are seeking more stable dating relationships or are rebuilding post separation, I can help you process the past and identify what you need in future relationships. I use attachment research and evidence-based interventions to teach you where things went wrong and how to build a stable, healthy relationship moving forward.

Hi! I'm Ashton and I'm glad you found me. I specialize in helping couples and individuals who are finding that their relationships are a big stressor in their life. Many of the clients I see are seeking counseling to improve communication skills and increase enjoyment and connectedness in their relationships. Clients who work with me often need help working through relationship betrayals and hurts that inevitably happen in relationships, but that can leave you feeling stuck. I use therapeutic modalities that help couples and individuals move past relationship patterns that no longer serve them into more stable ways of functioning.

Together, we work to identify tools and strategies to address challenging areas like anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, relationship conflicts, grief, and trauma.
Life is full of challenges that we were not created to overcome alone. I believe therapy is a valuable source of tools and encouragement that enables individuals to develop healthy skills and responses. My goal is to meet each client where they are, striving to create a welcoming environment where they can process and problem-solve. I collaborate with clients to explore and identify the root issues of struggles and conflicts. We then explore their strengths and weaknesses to find solutions and develop healthy coping strategies to assist them in setting and achieving reasonable goals.

My work, as well as my personal life, is grounded in mindfulness. When we train our attention to stay in the present moment, we become much more aware of the stories we tell ourselves and how much suffering we experience as a result.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
