Client Testimonials

I can't express enough how life-changing my therapy experience has been. Ashleigh has been one of the therapists that I have felt I truly connected with and pushed me to grow. Struggling with past trauma for years, I felt like I was stuck in a cycle I couldn't break. After starting therapy, my therapist introduced me to EMDR, and it has been nothing short of transformative. Through our work together, I not only processed past trauma but also learned healthier coping mechanisms. The combination of EMDR and a trauma-focused approach gave me the tools I needed to not let my past define me and bog me down from my future potential.

I never thought I’d get to a place where I could truly heal, but with the guidance and care I received, I’m living proof that recovery and healing are possible. If you’re struggling with trauma, I highly recommend giving EMDR a try with Ashleigh. It works – and it’s worth it.

I sought out help from Ashleigh because I was as looking for tools to manage my stress and anxiety with all of the things on my plate. She was quick to point me to the Lord instead of give me the long list of tools I thought I needed. She didn’t give me a list of things “wrong” with me, for me to work on. She helped to empower me to unpack the load I have been carrying for years with the Lord’s help and guidance, not just my “can do”, “do it all”, and “I’ve got this” attitude. She helps me notice patterns in myself. I’m forever grateful for the safe space and the confidence she instilled in me. Ashleigh provided a great mix of practical advice while challenging my thought patterns and allowing me to see outside of my narrowed perspective.

I am a different person now, than I was when I first started seeing Ashleigh (although I know she would disagree and say I’ve always been here). She has empowered me to seek the Lord first, pause & breathe second, and move with humility lastly. My perspective of the need for control and managing everything has shifted  and I’ve learned to rest in the Lord and who he made me to be.
