I am thankful and encouraged that you have started exploring therapy. I acknowledge this first brave step.

Whether you are seeking therapy to heal from a history of or recent trauma, learn healthy coping skills, process grief, identify patterns of negative thinking and behavior, improve family dynamics or find new parenting strategies, we can find a treatment plan that uniquely suits you.

Hi! I'm Ashton and I'm glad you found me. I specialize in helping couples and individuals who are finding that their relationships are a big stressor in their life. Many of the clients I see are seeking counseling to improve communication skills and increase enjoyment and connectedness in their relationships. Clients who work with me often need help working through relationship betrayals and hurts that inevitably happen in relationships, but that can leave you feeling stuck. I use therapeutic modalities that help couples and individuals move past relationship patterns that no longer serve them into more stable ways of functioning.

If you are struggling with a depressed and/or anxious mood or have experienced a loss, counseling can help you experience a more hopeful and purposeful life. Clients with a background of trauma, grief/loss, mood disorder, or feel stuck during a time of transition and stress say that through therapy they have regained their emotional balance and find the strength to make important changes. Counseling involves digging deep, learning new ways of thinking, challenging old behaviors, and being courageous enough to believe that you can improve and grow no matter where you are in your life journey.

If you are working to manage the multiple roles of parent, spouse, and employee, or you are feeling burned out and not sure where to start, you aren't alone! Managing your mental health needs and the needs of your family, working through previous or recent trauma to get through blocks in your relationships, or considering how you can move forward from old patterns can all happen in the context of a safe, therapeutic relationship!

I specialize in creative therapy that meets clients where they are based on issues, needs and goals. I believe in involving clients in their own therapeutic process and building on their strengths to address challenges they may be having. I believe that, through safe, connected relationship, we can work together to tackle any issue.

Amanda spent many years working in the service industry before pursuing a career in clinical social work. While working in this industry, the various injustices in society and stigmas relating to mental health and trauma became more prevalent. Amanda realized that she could no longer remain silent and left this industry to pursue a career that would allow her to bring awareness to mental health stigmas as well as offer supportive counseling to individuals in need.

Burnout is a common buzzword, but the pain of emotional exhaustion, feeling ineffective, and ongoing cynicism about the importance of your work is real. Whether it is manifesting, in the "Sunday Scaries" (dreading the end of the weekend) to harboring resentment in the workplace, burnout does not have to be accepted as just the way life is. The counseling process can aid you in mitigating the frustration of the workplace, as well as connecting you back to the sense of passion, vigor, and engagement that use to accompany your work life.

I'm passionate about making the therapeutic experience inclusive, collaborative, & hope-filled for all. You may have experienced a traumatic event or traumatic relationship, either recently or in the past, and are wondering when you are ever going to feel like yourself again. You may even be experiencing anxiety, grief, depression or trouble sleeping on a daily basis. Or maybe you aren't here for yourself. Perhaps you are looking to find help for your child who is struggling with self-esteem, dealing with a trauma themselves, or living with a disability. Whatever the issue concerning you today, I commend you for being here!
