Ashley is great, she listens to me, evaluates and teaches me things that I never even new about. She is a great listener and has helped me come a long way. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

I’ve had two sessions with Ashley and she is very open minded. She explains to me everything she hears me say and makes sure I understand what she says to me.
