These trainings have provided Ashley the tools to help patients identify the core of their struggles and to recognize patterns of thought and behavior.

In starting treatment with Ashley, patients can expect to find someone who listens carefully, and to begin with topics they feel comfortable discussing. Ashley understands that it takes time to develop trust in a relationship with a therapist. Each patient Ashley sees is treated as unique, meaning that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all.
