More about Ashton

Hello! I’m glad you are here!

I’m a Licensed Masters Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Michigan. I earned my Master’s degree from Michigan State University and have been supporting individuals and families for the past eight years.

I work with adults, caregivers, and children. I do this by providing support that fosters growth, healing, and connection. With children and caregivers, I focus on strengthening their relationship and building regulation and understanding together. I support teens in navigating the challenges that come with adolescence, including school, peer relationships, and new experiences. For adults, I offer guidance through life transitions, relationship challenges, and the journey toward creating the life you envision. My specialties include Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT: kids age 6-17), Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist and Motivational Interviewing.

I am ready to help you identify what your needs are and set up a road map together on how to get there!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
