About Me
Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m licensed to provide counseling in both Oregon and Washington, and I hold advanced certifications in substance use and addiction counseling. I encourage clients to explore the meaning and value of living life as their authentic selves, and I invite each person to explore their self-awareness, thoughts, behaviors, and feelings at a pace that feels comfortable, in a safe place without judgment.
I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, and I have experience supporting clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, low self-worth, grief, substance use, and trauma. My style is collaborative—I aim to create a space that feels safe, affirming, and grounded in genuine human connection using trauma-informed care.
How I Work
I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, drawing from a variety of evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Person Centered Therapy
Trauma-Informed Care
Motivational Interviewing
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Seeking Safety
Whether we’re exploring difficult emotions, unpacking old patterns, or working toward goals that matter to you, we’ll move at a pace that feels right—together.
Clinical Orientation
I believe therapy is a powerful tool for helping individuals recognize their strengths, overcome challenges, and create more fulfilling lives. My approach integrates multiple therapeutic perspectives with an existential foundation, emphasizing person-centered counseling and guiding clients toward greater connection with their present selves. I work from a holistic lens—mind, body, and spirit—to support each person as a whole.
Who I Work With
I currently work with individuals ages 5 and up and welcome people of all identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, I’d be honored to support you. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy.
Sessions & Availability
I offer in-person and virtual therapy sessions based out of our Beaverton office. My schedule is Monday through Friday. Because I’m licensed in both Oregon and Washington, I can see clients located in either state.

A Bit About Me
Outside the therapy space, you can often find me spending time with my family exploring new restaurants, discovering playgrounds with my daughter, traveling, and camping. I value balance, adventure, and meaningful connections, and I strive to bring those same values into the way I support clients in their growth.
