Ashley is passionate about offering mental health and wellness care for her clients and first responder agencies.

Ashley received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Religion from Liberty University in 2008. In 2014, she completed a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling at Liberty as she felt called to work more intentionally in the mental health field. She is also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in North Carolina.

Ashley specializes in trauma therapy and utilizes a SAFE attachment approach in counseling. She is a Certified EMDR therapist for individual work and also does Group EMDR (G-TEP) for critical incidents, collective trauma at the workplace, or family trauma. Ashley also enjoys Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples heal and build a stronger connection. She is NERPSC Certified which is lengthy first responder training through Lexipol. Finally, she has also completed the CPTT (Certified Partner Trauma Therapy) course for individuals who have experienced betrayal trauma in their relationship(s).

Ashley utilizes CBT, TF-CBT, mindfulness, and IFS approaches in working with individuals as she believes every story carries different pieces needing intentional care. She often works with individuals who have experienced PTSD as well as various types of betrayal such as sexual, emotional, financial, organizational, and more. Also, anxiety, depression, career challenges, balancing work/family and parenting struggles. Lessening the trauma and increasing resources is the key to building resiliency and growth.
