Meet Ashley

What was your path to becoming a Mental Health Therapist?
While pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Social Work, I met incredible individuals and found my nice within the field, focusing on supporting the mental well-being of our youth. After graduating, I continued my studies and pursued a Master’s degree in Social Work at the University of Central Florida.


What should someone know about working with you?
At the core of my work is a deep belief that healing happens through genuine connection, compassion, and feeling truly heard. As a person-centered therapist, I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and stories without judgment—just honesty, empathy, and presence.
