I am happy to provide a super bill each month that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

Getting started can be scary, but I’m ready when you are. Reach out through our contact form to schedule a free 15min consultation call. I’ll answer any questions along the way.

Warm, collaborative, and straightforward. I’m here to guide the process of healing, but you are in the drivers seat.

Check out my Meet Ashley page for more details.

Gottman Method Couples Counseling begins with a structured assessment process rather than standard therapy sessions. This initial phase is designed to gain a comprehensive understanding of your relationship’s strengths, challenges, and interaction patterns. Each partner completes a detailed online assessment, which is reviewed by your therapist using specialized Gottman Method training. We then meet for a feedback session to discuss the results and develop a clear, individualized treatment plan tailored to your relationship.

Because this assessment phase evaluates the relationship as a whole and involves specialized evaluation tools and interpretation, it is considered a private-pay service and is not typically covered by insurance. Once this initial assessment is complete, ongoing couples counseling sessions may be billed to insurance if they meet your plan’s criteria for covered, medically necessary treatment. However, coverage and reimbursement cannot be guaranteed.

You can reach out anytime via our contact page or email. I aim to respond quickly—usually within 2 business days.

Absolutely. Therapy works best when we're working toward goals that matter to you. We'll develop a personalized treatment plan together, discuss what you'd like to accomplish, and identify the approaches that best support those goals. As life changes, your treatment plan can change too.

Yes—when it's appropriate and helpful. If a diagnosis is part of your treatment, we'll talk about what it means, why I believe it fits, and how it guides our work together. A diagnosis is simply a clinical tool to help us understand patterns and inform treatment—it doesn't define who you are.

We'll regularly check in on your goals, discuss what's improving, what's still feeling difficult, and whether our approach is meeting your needs. I may also use evidence-based assessments throughout treatment to help us track progress over time, so we can make decisions based on both your experience and objective measures.

Assessments are one tool that helps us better understand your experiences, identify patterns, and monitor progress over time. They're never used to reduce you to a score or a label. Instead, they help guide our conversations, support clinical decision-making, and ensure we're focusing on what matters most to you.

Rather than using the same approach with every client, I tailor therapy to your unique goals, experiences, and needs. Whether we're using EMDR, ACT, the Gottman Method, or another evidence-based intervention, I'll explain why I believe it's a good fit and how it's intended to support your progress.

Please tell me. Therapy should feel collaborative, not prescriptive. If something doesn't feel helpful, we'll talk about it openly and adjust our approach together. Your feedback is an important part of the process, and finding what works best for you is one of our shared goals.

Always. In fact, I encourage it. Whether you're wondering why we're focusing on a particular topic, curious about an intervention, or unsure where we're headed, your questions are welcome. Therapy works best when it feels like a collaborative conversation, not a one-sided process.
