After years in the field Ashley prayed and asked God for guidance and direction in the next phase of her career. He spoke to her with boldness “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” Ephesians 3:20. With her faith and trust in God she began the next phase of her career, as a clinical therapist.

She became certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy to provide specialized treatment to veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Military Sexual Trauma. Ashley developed a passion for working with young adults, adults, and veterans. She believes that her personal tragedies were part of God’s purpose and plan for her life.

Office Manager

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy- the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

– Brene Brown
