Early in her career Ashley decided there was no future for her in clinical social work. She feared she would be ineffective as a clinical therapist. 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.

I am married to my wonderful husband of eight years and we have one son. We have three dogs; Lola, Scooby, and Thor. Any downtime that I may have, I enjoy spending it with my family and fur babies. We like to play corn hole, working out, going to the movies, or any other games that involves some type of competition.
