She has experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, and those with developmental disabilities. In addition to her primary areas of expertise, she provides support for a broad range of mental health concerns and life challenges. Ashley believes that successful therapy begins with a genuine therapeutic connection built on trust, respect, and acceptance. She strives to create a welcoming space where clients feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions, processing life experiences, and developing practical skills that support long-term well-being. Whether working with a child struggling in school, a teen managing anxiety, or an adult navigating life’s challenges, she focuses on helping clients move toward healthier and more fulfilling lives. She earned her education and clinical training through Lock Haven University, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania. Since beginning her clinical practice in 2018, Ashley has remained committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based mental health care. Outside of her professional work, Ashley enjoys crafts and DIY projects, reading, working on puzzles, drawing and other creative activities, and collecting comic books and graphic novels.
