About Ashley
I have always found joy in helping others. Early on, I was able to start making a positive impact on others' lives. Around 12 years old, my parents started an Adult Family Home, in our house. I grew up helping physically and cognitively disabled individuals. During my time as an undergraduate, I volunteered for a foster care program, doing supervised visitation. I continued in the direction of helping others and moved across the United States to Los Angeles. While in my master's program, I had the privilege to work with a nonprofit, helping women and children that were struggling from homelessness. This was my first experience as a therapist. I knew then that helping others was what I was meant to do with my life.
My career as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist has taken me on a journey to impact many lives. During my time as a therapist, I have worked with clients struggling with many different types of struggles, such as general mental health (anxiety, depression, ADHD, ect.), human trafficking, sex offenders and more. Currently, I hold a license in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania and I am Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I continue to practice, in managed care, as a Behavioral Care Therapist and have over 13 years of experience in the field.
