My name is Ashley and I've been in the field for almost 20 years working primarily with adults and youth in moments of crisis and who have experienced trauma.
I'm Certified in EMDR (eye movement destination and reprocessing) and use a holistic approach in therapy. What does this mean? It means I'm able to use a number of wellness practices to enhance my clients' sessions and gives me options to find the best fit for the person and their needs. Check out the specializations and private sessions tab for more information about Somatic Coaching and other wellness offerings.
​
Giving back to my community is non-negotiable. I'm an active volunteer for the Traumatic Loss Coalition for Bergen County and a DRCC (disaster response crisis counselor) for Bergen and Passaic County. In previous years I volunteered for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and was the President of the Northern NJ Chapter leading community-based events and multiple Bergen County Out of the Darkness Walks.
​​​
In recent years I've expanded my focus to work with those who dedicate their lives to serve others. Working with Law Enforcement and First Responders has been eye opening and is a small way I can give back to those who give so much to us.​
Aside from being married to a former firefighter and EMT, I'm trained as a Certified First Responder Clinician. This means I've spent hours dedicated to learning about the culture and perspective of First Responders when it comes to seeking mental health care.​
​
My most important job, hands down, is being a mom to two little kiddos. They are the funniest, silliest and most curious humans I know, and they love to test my own personal holistic journey daily.

Even in the most vulnerable moments, I focus less on symptoms & more on you as a whole person. With a background in working with trauma survivors & a deep understanding of our nervous system and how we heal, I provide tailored support that addresses your unique needs. If you’re ready to move forward, I invite you to contact me for a free consultation. Let’s work together to reclaim your sense of well-being!
