About Ashley

Ashley emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic stance that meets people where they are while offering gentle challenge as clients are ready to change.

Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed methods with relational sensitivity. Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused and emotion-focused techniques, adding mindfulness and solution-oriented strategies as needed.

She adapts methods to each person’s concerns and the evolving needs of the therapeutic relationship, tailoring interventions to goals like improved coping, clearer communication, or trauma recovery. Ashley accepts international clients and provides services in English.

She aims to empower clients through supportive guidance and skill-building so they can navigate life transitions, manage stress and mood symptoms, and address complex family dynamics.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Ashley frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and strengthen emotional bonds, a helpful focus for family problems and attachment concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work on relationship dynamics and emotional awareness, supporting improved communication and connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as the therapeutic relationship evolves, aiming to match methods to the client’s needs rather than relying on a single formula.

Online therapy with her is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, let clients access care from different locations including internationally, and allow sessions to fit into busy lives while maintaining consistency in treatment and strategy work.
