More about Ashley
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I find great joy and fulfillment in my work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I truly feel that this field chose me! I have been practicing for nearly 20 years in both the school and clinical settings. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents as well as emerging adults.
Serving neurodivergent individuals is a specific passion of mine. I attained a second master's degree in Special Education Leadership and am currently working toward certification as an Autism Specialist.
Those who know me, both personally and professionally, describe me as positive, approachable, and energetic. I am committed to professional development, self-advocacy, and providing education to clients and families to encourage a sense of community, inclusion, and connectedness.
Whether you are looking for support for yourself or a loved one, I applaud you for taking the first step! I meet clients where they are at and provide a safe, welcoming space to build therapeutic rapport; creating an individualized treatment plan to assist them with overcoming obstacles and meeting personal social or emotional goals.

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.
