Hi! My name is Ashley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida.
Over the years, I've worked in a wide range of settings, including: child welfare, foster care and adoption, substance abuse treatment, cancer and chronic illness care and recovery, and within the prison system. I work primarily with clients and caregivers affected by trauma or secondary trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and those coping with grief, loss, compassion fatigue, or other life changes.
I received both by undergraduate and graduate degrees in South Florida from Florida Atlantic University.
My approach to therapy is client centered and trauma informed. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives and thus should determine the direction and depth of therapy. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I would not still be in therapy if it weren’t for Ashley
Ashley has been so helpful. She is extremely knowledgeable, and great about explaining things. She has been flexible with her time since we are in different time zones. I am so happy that I was paired with Ashley, she is wonderful at what she does!
She’s a vary caring therapist who is very knowledgeable and highly skilled. She’s helped me a lot and will always be very grateful to her for helping me understand so much about myself.
I recently started working with Ashley, and have been really please with how things are going. We are only a few sessions in. She explains things well and gives great feedback. Looking forward to our work ahead.
I can't imagine navigating grief with another counselor on my side. Ashley is down to earth, kind, funny and incredibly skilled at her approach and interactions. She is a reliable communicator and competent clinician. She is able articulate grief processes and provides resources that are realistic and helpful. I am so very grateful she is on staff and I am able to access her through this platform. Highly recommend her with 1000% certainty.
She has been awesome
