"Hi, I'm Ashley. I work primarily with children and teens who are going through a rough time, for a variety of reasons. Some reasons people find their way to my office include: parents divorcing, a traumatic event (car accident, medical trauma, abuse, natural disaster, etc.) occurred, and changes in mood and/or behavior. No matter what the "presenting problem" may be for a client, I empower clients to create lasting change and healing in their lives."

"I am a Licensed Psychologist and hold a masters and doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Thomas. My experience is diverse and includes psychotherapy and psychological assessment with adults, adolescents and couples."

"I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in marriage and family therapy, depression & anxiety, children's issues, parenting, blended families, adoption, and have extensive experience and training in play therapy and eating disorders."

"As a therapist I strive to help people discover their own strengths and feel empowered to overcome hardships and create the change they wish to see in their lives. Family therapy allows me to view an individual and their circumstances from a systems perspective which can mean exploring how a person's past and present network is helping or hindering the process of change."

"My professional experiences have taught me that my passion is working with children and families. I have a wealth of knowledge in infant and child mental health. Also, I work with children who have trauma histories and the families that care for them. I have experience assisting with adoption issues, family work, anxiety, depression, PTSD, coping with life change, and child and adolescent mental health issues. Working collaboratively with parents is also an essential part of my therapy practice."

"I offer therapy adapted to the needs of the client. If brief, problem-focused work is needed, I offer it. For clients seeking a fuller understanding of themselves and their personality styles, I provide open-ended, insight-based therapy. Because I recognize each person as a whole, complex individual, I try to see each person and each set of difficulties in context. Proper resolution of problems often requires attention to the complexity--the emotional, physical, cognitive, spiritual, and interpersonal dimensions --of the client's experience. Prevention of future difficulties also ranks high in the priorites of my therapeutic work."

"Seeking first to understand, then to assist you in resolving problem areas in your life, my focus is on helping you grow to a place of personal safety, security, and stability in your life. Please call or email to discuss how I may be able to help you address any issues that you may be facing."

"Have you ever gotten the feeling that the same thing keeps happening to you over and over again... in your relationships, at work, in your attitude about yourself? If so, I would like to help. Past disruptions in our lives can have major impacts on how we live in the present day. I am excited to share my knowledge on these patterns with you and help you move forward. I have more than ten years of experience in counseling individuals from many walks of life. I feel honored to be a part others' healing journeys."

"My focus in therapy is to: 1) assist clients to clearly identify the root causes of the challenges and difficulties they are dealing with; 2) ensure client safety and stability, and; 3) work with each client to identify solutions which they feel will best address and resolve their unique life situations. I do not use a one-size-fits-all, or cookie-cutter approach. I work relationally and collaboratively, while striving to help each individual hold themselves accountable for gaining the skills they need to successfully navigate their own life journey with all of its challenges and successes."

"I am not enough." "No one will ever love me." "I feel empty." If you find yourself angry or irritable, reacting instead of responding, or repeating the same unhealthy patterns promising yourself to do it differently, these are signs you are ready for change. If you want to wake up in the morning knowing that the wounds of your past no longer define you and to start treating yourself, your children, and your partner better, give yourself the gift of therapy and begin to rewrite your resilient story."

"I have been in the mental health field for 10 years and enjoy working with adult individuals, couples, and families. My specialty is working with families with children ages 18 months to 12 years. I utilize play therapy to help children recover from trauma, abuse, and neglect. I also utilize Filial Therapy to strengthen parent-child relationships and reduce problematic behaviors such as tantrums, physical and verbal aggression, and property destruction. My special interests are adoptive and foster care families. My passion is helping adults, couples, and families move from anxiety and depression to enjoyment and connection with others."

"Different therapists have different specialties. Mine is relationships. All of us, as human beings, long for a deep connection with those we love. To be known, accepted, and loved. When the connection with the person you love most is off somehow, it can throw many areas in your life off balance. Whether you are married/in a committed relationship and are seeking an outside perspective to build a better relationship; you or your partner are contemplating divorce; or maybe you feel the connection is lacking in your relationship but your partner doesn't -- I am here to help."

"Feeling stressed out lately? Sometimes, life is difficult. I get it. Managing normal everyday issues can be challenging, whether you are experiencing relationship conflict, work stress, or struggling with excessive worry lately. It's okay to ask for help. I can work with you to develop a plan to get back on track. My clinical approach emphasizes the importance of creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for my patients to share their story, obtain support, and implement change."

"I practice from a system-based lens which recognizes the importance of family and other avenues of support in the individual's therapeutic process. I specialize in working with children aged 4 to 12, providing non-directive play therapy to assist them in telling their stories, processing trauma, and healing from difficult childhood experiences. I also work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a range of diagnoses and presenting issues. I utilize cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based, solution-focused approaches to therapy and have experience working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, ADHD, divorce, trauma, and many other diagnoses and issues."
