Ashley has been great in providing me with a validating and safe environment to share openly and honest. I never thought I would have been such a fan of "messaging therapy" support but it has been a great outlet for me and Ashley responds timely and gives great guidance through this method.
More about Ashley
- 11 years' experience

- LCSW
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in California with 10 years experience working with grief and loss. I have worked with many families who have experienced a peaceful acceptance of death and those that felt it was simply too soon. My bereavement experience allows those experience death and dying to identify that stages are not linear and do not occur in one particular order.
My counseling techniques include cognitive behavior therapy, where I assist families and individuals with identifying their thoughts, feelings and behaviors in any given situation. I'm compassionate and display patience. My goal is to have a dialog and atmosphere that meets you were you are at in this journey of life and healing. The goal is to obtain a balance of your ultimate survival and strength.
It takes courage to seek support and move towards healing. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
My areas of focus include, but are not limited to: grief counseling, depression, relationship issues , caregiver stress and family discord.

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.

Ashley been so wonderful..always compassionate.
Truly one of the most adaptive and understanding therapists I’ve worked with.
Ashley has been absolutely amazing in helping me get through the toughest time of my life. I'm now coming through it stronger than ever! I couldn't have done it without her help.
Ashley’s approach is amazing. I feel very comfortable talking to her and her tips and advice has helped me a great deal. I highly recommend her.
Our first session she listened and had some ideas right away we can work on showing compassion and effort.
Ashley is empathetic & supportive. I feel she genuinely cares for her clients and establishes a true relationship with them.
Ashley has been an amazing godsend. She is extremely responsive and attentive in all of her communications - from her messages to our sessions. Ashley provides sound guidance and empathy throughout all conversations. I've experienced therapists that were very black and white and constantly looking at the clock to announce time. Ashley never does this. You feel that she is always there to listen and provide feedback and guidance to achieve your personal goals. I can't praise Ashley enough - she is amazing.
Ashley is compassionate and caring. She listens and offers objective reasoning. It’s like talking things through with a best friend.
