About
Ashley knows what it feels like when your body, your hopes, and your timeline do not cooperate.
Her own path to parenthood reshaped her; it taught her quietly how grief can live alongside your daily life, how isolating it can be to move through appointments, losses, decisions, and waiting while the rest of the world seems to move on untouched.
Becoming a social worker was a response to the kind of support that she wish existed while she was in the thick of it. Ashley strives to be the person who doesn’t minimize the pain, rush the healing, or offer silver linings when someone really just needs to be seen.
Approach
Ashley’s approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and deeply human. She understands that this process is not about 'fixing' emotions or staying positive, it's about having a cozy place to land while you move through uncertainty, hope, grief, and large decisions.
Her work is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from attachment-based, emotion-focused, and strengths-based approaches. In practice, this means we pay attention to how fertility experiences show up in your body and relationships, not just in your thoughts.
What to expect
You can expect sessions with Ashley to feel supportive, honest, and collaborative. Sometimes soft and validating, sometime gently challenging. And often, surprisingly light! Laughter shows up here too.
Ashley works at your pace, meeting you where you are at without judgement or pressure to feel a certain way.
You don’t have to have the right words. You can show up exactly as you are.
