As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy for people navigating life’s emotional challenges, offering compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals throughout MI. Ashley works with clients facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, helping them better understand their experiences while creating strategies that support lasting growth and stability.

Her goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals can process their experiences, regain confidence, and continue their path toward recovery and long-term wellness. Her clinical approach draws from evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and family therapy when appropriate.

She offers additional therapeutic approaches to ensure treatment plans are tailored to each client’s unique goals and circumstances. Ashley began practicing in 2018 and earned her education from Western Michigan University. She is committed to ongoing learning and staying informed on best practices that support effective, compassionate mental health care.
