I utilize approaches from Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Theory to help guide my work.
In an age where families are incredibly busy and behaviors tend to occur at home, I realize the limitations of office based work. My home based therapy encourages parents to come up with realistic plans based on their natural home environment. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience. I work with parents on ways to effectively manage their children's behavior in the comfort of their home. My expertise lies in families with children from birth to high school age. The children can be either typically developing or struggle with issues around Anxiety, OCD, ODD, and trichillmania.

Hi, I'm Ashleigh ! I'm honored you took a moment to view my profile. I understand seeking help may present vulnerability but it is also a sign of courage. You took the first step toward healing on your own and I’d love to walk with you for the rest. Has life presented multiple obstacles in achieving goals ? Does navigating life's journey seem difficult ? Do you need help to organize your thoughts, create a plan and take action against stagnation ? I believe difficult roads can lead to beautiful destinations. As your therapist, I will partner in identifying skills that cultivate resilience with patience, empathy and compassion.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
