Hi! I'm Ashley. I graduated from VCU with a master's degree in social work in 2011. I have experience working in homeless services, case management, and crisis counseling; however, practicing individual therapy is what I truly enjoy!
I'm certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and have extensive experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Bringing my energy and knowledge to the therapeutic relationship, I provide psychoeducation around clients' concerns and encouragement. I believe we are all wildly capable of doing amazing things and want to help clients become the best versions of themselves, by motivating, offering another perspective, and holding clients accountable, when needed.
I especially enjoy working with women 40 and under and bring my own experience as a mother, millennial, and woman to my practice.
I'm equal parts sounding board and coach. I understand the importance of being that non-judgmental listener, but also recognize how vital it is to have someone give you that extra push when you need it.
