MA / LCMHC

Hi, I am Ashley and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and North Carolina and I would love to help support you as you become the best version of yourself. I have been practicing for over 6 years and love the creativity and challenge that comes with counseling. I take a humanistic, person centered approach to each client. This means that I value the person before diagnosis or pathology. I have worked with clients with varied concerns from all types of addiction to existential meaning of life questions. I work with all adults, 18 and up on an individual basis.

I find that with the support of therapy, clients can address the underlying psychological and emotional issues at play, leading to whatever the client is struggling with at the time. Often trauma, or early childhood experiences greatly impact the individual’s ability to cope with life. I help individuals get to those roots and find healthier ways of coping.

A bit about me, I love to spend time with my friends, family and dogs outdoors exploring this beautiful state. I love to read and I enjoy cooking and eating delicious food. Back to you, I want to acknowledge that taking the steps to seek help can be challenging. But I assure you that I will be with you, supporting and guiding you on your healing journey!
