Hi there! My name is Ashlee and I have approximately 10 years working with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with a wide array of mental health-related issues. Some of these issues include depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, interpersonal conflict, trauma/abuse, self-esteem, motivation, confidence, and much more!

I am LGBTQ+ affirming and promote a safe space for individuals of all backgrounds to express themselves freely.

My ideal client is someone who is active in their own treatment. I enjoy working with clients who have a vision for how they want their life to look and are willing to take concrete steps to bring that vision to life. This client understands that therapy for one hour a week is only a fraction of the healing process. I take a holistic approach, addressing both the body's and the mind's roles in shaping our mental health. My goal is to help clients better control their body's response to trauma/stress, while also exploring and processing the emotions underneath.

More than anything we want to be loved, accepted and have meaningful relationships. Having people we can rely on, trust and enjoy life with gives us joy, purpose and the support we need to be ourselves and get through life's challenges. Finding and having meaningful relationships, however, can be challenging. Whether you are ending a relationship, starting a new one or have been hurt by someone you are close to, it can be scary to deal with the pain, start over or know how to be yourself. In some cases, we may even feel lost, need help healing, coping or rediscovering what makes us us and what makes us happy.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
