About
As a person who loves helping people, I will be there for you every step of the way.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with approximately 15 years of experience working with adults. I am also a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in Florida, where I provide supervision and support to counselors entering the profession and developing their clinical skills.I specialize in helping clients navigate OCD, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress, academic and work-related concerns, anger management, self-esteem, parenting, grief, and bereavement.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual’s goals, needs, strengths, and challenges. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CPT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and other evidence-based approaches to help clients develop practical strategies and create meaningful and sustainable change.
I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative, and engaging environment where clients can explore challenges openly while developing the confidence and skills needed to move forward.

Ashleigh earned her Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Capella.

Life can be all over the place and messy. Sometimes we just need someone to be our soundboard and help us dissect our stuff.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a good approach for children, as it involves reducing anxiety and learning new ideas and new ways to channel the child’s feelings and energy. It is beneficial because it will help him or her identify their inner thoughts and replace the negative ones with more positive, helpful ones. Good therapy will be present and forward-oriented and will likely utilize modalities such as talking, playing, or other activities to help the child express feelings and thoughts.
Child therapy sessions will focus on teaching the following tools:
The client is making meaningful progress in child therapy when the child is actively participating in sessions, maintaining the gains made during therapy, and there is a noticeable change in the child's behavior and mood outside of sessions at home, school, etc.
Clients can supplement their time in child therapy with worksheets, games, and intentional participation in activities to promote ways to implement tools and strategies that were taught during the sessions.
To prepare a child for the first therapy session, the parent/guardian should set aside time to have a conversation. Briefly, in a couple of sentences, talk about the challenges. Stick with the facts, including what you’ve tried so far to help and how it’s worked out. Let them know that you have decided to ask for more help and you’ve made an appointment for counseling. Tell them when it is, the counselor’s name, and what they’ll do there. Ask if they have any questions, thoughts, or feelings about the appointment. Explore their beliefs about counseling.

These counselors specialize in child therapy, which means they’ve completed training and experience that enables them to best help these young people. To schedule a child therapy appointment, all you have to do is contact our office. We’re here to get started when you and your child are ready.
