Testimonials

“I started by wanting to deal with my depression, but after meeting with Ashley for a while, we discovered that the culprit was my childhood but also the person living with me in my home, and I’d been blind to it for a very long time. She helped me change the direction of my life entirely. It’s scary to think where I would be without her.” - E.D. (former patient)

“I came to see Ashley after leaving a very demanding and controlling church/background. While I felt relief right away meeting with her, I have been most grateful that she stuck with me as it took me a long time to unpack all the ways I had been affected/influenced.” -P.C. (former patient)

Your symptoms - depression, anxiety, etc.. - are our gateway into understanding your more deeply. In fact, so deeply that your life is changed. I view all symptoms - fatigue, lack of motivation, anxiety, panic, worry, stress, self-doubt, self-loatching, etc. as a sign of an underlying, unexpressed feeling, a feeling you’ve decided is not OK to feel or express. I ask a lot of questions and consider a multitude of viewpoints to help us get to that unexpressed feeling. It’s important to me to see the patient as a whole person, regardless of psychological symptoms.

The relationship we build together is essential for your recovery. It’s within that relationship that you can feel safe enough to explore the depths necessary for change.

“Ashley will challenge you! If you’re ready for that, she’s the right therapist for you. She sees so much you haven’t seen in yourself yet, and she confronts it with you, but once you see the results, you’ll be so glad she pushed.” - J.C. (former patient)
