Whether you are coming in for individual counseling or as a couple, our goal is to understand how you are feeling, identify areas of focus and provide tools and coping skills to heal pain of feeling unheard or disrespected. Part of healing infidelity is not 'getting over it', that takes time. Some of our primary areas include communicating feelings and needs, de-escalation techniques and active listening skills. Helping both to feel appreciated for what you do inside and outside the home and as a parent. Between sessions, assignments are defined to help you practice in your everyday life what you have just learned.
You are here because you want to improve certain aspects of yourself or your relationships, counseling can help reduce stress and depression and it's a place to share how you feel and work towards goals you want to achieve. There is absolutely no judgement in counseling, we are here to provide help and guidance with empathy.
We specialize in couples through several different aspects that include talk therapy, solution focused therapy, effective communication, conflict resolution, reducing defensiveness and/or criticism We help to identify your love languages and that of your partner, underlying triggers, wants and needs. Let's work together in bringing back the joy and intimacy that helped you fall in love. If there has been infidelity, let's heal and trust again.
Individual counseling can reduce anxiety and depression from work, parenting and relationships and all together can lead to burnout.
Reducing PTSD from medical personal and helping professionals with our clinicians trained in EMDR for faster results.
With teens we help them express how they feel, identify if their procrastination if it's really ADHD and not that they are ignoring you or forgetting each time you ask them to do something.
As the the owner of LMC, I am trained in Gottman Level 3 for couples. Gottman is well known in our industry as one of the best therapies for couples. I also practice Solution Focused Therapy which can reduce tension and increase partner satisfaction and intimacy, making a difference in a short amount of time. Reducing anger gets you heard and when you are heard you get results and feelings of respect and appreciation.
Individually we can explore your needs and goals and work towards them. Lately, anxiety has been on the increase after Covid which has impacted many due to isolation and worry off the unknown. We can help reduce anxiety and depression with EMDR therapy and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to change one's inner thoughts to a “can do” attitude and heal from the “Im sorry you never got growing up because the abuse and neglect was not ok as a child and definitely not now as well as an adult in a relationship. The need to feel loved, respected and valued could still be a childhood need that never healed.

My specialization and 20 yr exp. Is in helping professional couples communicate in a healthy and respectful manner and be able find the time for quality conversations and intimacy while reducing the resentment, defensiveness or stonewalling that could have developed over time from feeling neglected, unheard or from infidelity.
You both have worked hard for your careers and to build your successful businesses but now need some tools to reduce the tension in the relationship and you both dont have the energy to engage in what seems like never ending arguments for attention and help with the chores or with the children if they are still living at home. You also need time and space for yourself to unwind before engaging in topics that seem never ending.
I will help you both to feel heard and respected by verbalizing feelings and needs in a way and time that the other is able to be receptive. Im passionate to make a difference, to translate what Im hearing you both say so the other can hear you better. Im passionate to find solutions and not keep you both in counseling longer than you need.
In individual counseling I can help you with boundaries, heal and help you express yourself better with love ones or teens that never seem to listen and together we will work on reaching your life goals and explore your love language.
Im trained in EMDR therapy to reduce stress and anxiety from work, grief, infidelity or a childhood of abuse or neglect. My style is gently direct, mutually engaged with a touch of humor when appropriate and very down to earth.

I am Ashley. I am a bilingual EMDR therapist who helps people heal from unhealthy relationships, anxiety, challenging childhoods, and other distressing experiences.
Coping skills can be helpful, but the clients I work with want to get to the root of their issues because other “band-aid” or temporary approaches haven’t worked. While the problems you face may feel heavy, I weave creativity, compassion, and humor into our work together so you can feel more peace and insight and less anxiety and depression. I believe the answers you are looking for are already inside of you and I am here to help you on the journey of self-discovery.
I enjoy working with both young adults and older adults as well as couples who are hoping to get insight into the “why” behind their issues and understand the “how” they can move towards peace, clarity, and confidence. The people I work with are often struggling with childhood or relational trauma and its effects, such as anxiety, relationship issues, feeling disconnected, depressed, or with low self-esteem. In our sessions, you'll explore the source of your issues, learn coping skills to manage your daily life, and get to a place of insight, increased confidence, and healthier relationships. Our work together will include attachment, parts work and IFS, EMDR, CBT, or Gottman, depending on your needs.

I believe that therapy benefits everyone. Therapy will help guide you to answers to questions from the past, present, or future, that may not seem readily available. It is essential to know that everyone is worthy of understanding one's feelings. In times when darkness takes reign, there is an opportunity to find the light within yourself before it takes a mental, spiritual, and physical toll. I hope to be that person that may guide you.
In the safety of our session, I will provide a safe, open-minded, and nonjudgmental space where you can freely discuss your experiences and emotions.

I believe that significant hardship doesn't overshadow your everyday struggles If you feel you want to talk and clear any possible cobwebs alongside an empathetic person within a comfortable space, I would be honored for you to work with me.
