Welcome

to your

safe place.

Meet Ashley:

I’m Ashley and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Missouri in the United States. I have seven years of experience working in mental health and two decades of experience working in youth development.

I specialize in teen and adult womxn’s hormonal health therapy, specifically premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and premenstrual exacerbation (PME). I also work with clients experiencing other hormonal health issues like peripartum depression and anxiety. As a systemically trained therapist, I often like to work with clients and their partners or family members to develop a supportive and safe environment for healing.

I offer both in-person therapy and online therapy for those outside of the Kansas City area. No matter the context we meet with each other, I will work diligently to create nonjudgmental and creative space for you to flourish.
