About Ashley
She earned a Master of Social Work from George Williams College in 2016 and began her clinical path in settings that included the Alzheimer’s Association and a senior care facility. That work led her to short-term therapy, crisis support for caregivers, and later clinical care for college-aged adults.
In sessions she aims to meet people where they are. She listens with empathy and helps set simple, achievable goals. Treatment plans are created together and adjusted to fit a person’s life and priorities.
Ashley commonly helps with anxiety and panic attacks, depression, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with caregiving stress, end-of-life issues, parenting challenges, and life changes. Thoughts and everyday habits are a core focus in her approach to these concerns.
Her work also includes attention to obsessive and compulsive patterns, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood changes, bipolar concerns, and issues facing young adults and women. Ashley blends practical strategies with a respectful, person-centered style to help people make steady changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her background across community, long-term care, and college settings.

Remote approaches that center thoughts and habits
Ashley often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose meaningful actions despite them. ACT supports work on values, committed action, and reducing avoidance when stress or anxiety feels overwhelming.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns and test them against real-life evidence. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and changing everyday habits that get in the way of goals.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client work together to try methods and see what fits best with the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions moving forward.
