Ashley has primarily worked with children, teens, and college age clients, and completed the majority of her training at a child and adolescent clinic in San Diego, CA. She has also been a featured guest lecturer with Dr. Daniel Jenkins and Dr. Frank Ogle on adolescent disorders at Point Loma Nazarene University. Ashley works with young people from a compassionate and personable client-centered approach. Based on the needs of the individual client, she will tailor the treatment method but often utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Play Therapy techniques to meet the goals of the client and family. She can also integrate the Christian faith into the sessions as the client feels comfortable in the course of the work.

She takes great care to bring instill hope and confidence in the youth, college women, and families that change and recovery is possible. She will address challenging seasons for families by promoting new parenting approaches, addressing unhelpful thoughts, modeling healthy assertive communication, and implementing coping strategies that appeal to the client and are effective.
Therapy is a sacred space for vulnerable work and she will approach it with you in a professional, caring, and upbeat way. She would be delighted to join you in your journey toward greater wholeness.
