I am dedicated to helping my clients build bridges to a healthier, happier life. Are you going through a big change? Life calls us into constant change. Whether planned and joyful or unexpected and grief filled: changes in relationships; parenting; or career - they take their toll on each of us. Healing through grieving, stretching, adjusting, and growing can be blocked when you feel overwhelming emotions, when you are fearful and avoidant of what is to come, and when you simply don't know how to move ahead. I listen to, support, and teach my clients to help reduce anxiety, depression, and stress that comes with life transitions.
I specialize in helping individuals make changes in the way they work, resolve difficult issues, take action and move forward with their plans. Maybe you feel you have reached a glass ceiling and want to move your personal and professional life forward, yet you don't or can't find the time and space to work ON rather than IN your business.
I will work with you to process the changes, to cope when the hard times are upon you, and to learn skills to improve the daily choices that you make I know that the decision to begin therapy. To admit that you're not sure what comes next in your life, to imagine yourself in a better place takes courage, and I consider it an honor to help.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Ashley has helped me navigate hurdles in my personal and professional life. Her calm and kind demeanor sets me at ease, making it easy to tackle difficult topics.
Ashley was immensely helpful in getting me out of a hard place. My lack of focus and motivation stemming from career anxiety were putting me at an all-time low, and she was able to encourage me and challenge me to take the steps I needed to move past it. I've learned lots of little tips and tricks from her to help myself improve as well. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone in a similar situation.
Ashley has been wonderful in teaching me coping skills with what I’m struggling with.
Ashley is responsive an proactive wich really helps me in ny particular areas of therapy. I would recommend this method of therapy because of my experience with Ashley.
I wish she had been the first therapist not the second. I would have gotten so much farther this summer.

So empathetic and understanding!!
She's really amazing. I feel comfortable talking to her because she lets me be real and open. That's new for me when it comes to therapy.
Ashley was my first experience with a therapy - a great one! Thanks to her, I have managed to get through some very important life changes. Ashley is very kind and responsive, she is a great listener too - she is both a friend and a therapist. Thank you, Ashley!
So far I have only had written contact with Ashley and she has been engaged and helpful. Looking forward to finding the time for our first session.
Ashley is thoughtful in her demeanor and very precise and really just brilliant. In just a few sessions she has changed my world for the better.
Ashley has been nothing short of amazing. She listens, cares, and still keeps the overall focus on the things I want to/need to work on. She’s definitely the best counsellor I’ve had and I’m very glad I matched with her and can continue working with her!
