(She/ Her/Hers)

Ashley earned a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller School of Psychology in 2014 and has spent the last decade deepening her understanding of what it means to be human and the struggle to embrace our true selves. 

Through training in DIR Floortime play therapy with neurodiverse children, Ashley learned the value of wondering and exploring how we each uniquely experience the world in our bodies and how this contributes to how we learn, think, and feel. 

Currently, she’s training in perinatal mental health (PMH-C pending) and particularly focused on the experience of matrescence (the process of becoming a mother), the difficulty of holding ambivalence within motherhood, and how this journey changes throughout a lifetime. 

Ashley offers individual therapy for expecting, new, and seasoned moms, creating a warm space to rediscover buried parts and integrate them into the new self arising. Additionally, Ashley offers parent coaching in hopes of helping parents reflect on their child's emotional, physical, and sensory needs and discover ways to adjust parenting to fit their unique profile.

While Ashley utilizes theories (psychodynamic, family systems, and developmental psychology), her approach is relational, warm, a bit playful and, most importantly, unique to the person sitting in front of her, to the relationship being created.
