Ashley (she/her) believes people strive to live their best lives and inherently know what is best for themselves. When individuals get sidetracked by life’s challenges, Ashley seeks an empathetic understanding of a client’s situation to collaboratively inspire hope and set them back on track to their best life.
Ashley’s U of A degree is in Social Studies with a Drama/Dance minor.
As a practicum student, Ashley will help individuals, families, and couples from ages 6 to 65+ with presenting issues in such areas as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Grief and loss
- Identity
- Life transitions
- Relationships

- Self-compassion
Modalities Ashley uses in in therapy are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and The Gottman Method. She finds that creating a genogram is useful when assessing family dynamics.
