Ashley is an energetic and empathic Licensed Social Worker in a hospital setting, working primarily with families experiencing high-risk pregnancy and NICU hospitalizations. She provides emotional support, advocates for, and helps families cope with their unexpected, traumatic, and lengthy hospitalizations. Ashley is working towards her Perinatal Mental Health Counseling and Internal Family Systems trainings to better support individuals and families going through their most difficult times. Her goal is to assist families in feeling as resilient, empowered, and emotionally-validated as possible both during and after their hospitalizations. Ashley hopes to continue supporting individuals and families both within and outside of the hospital context as she works towards her clinical licensure, with an estimated completion in December 2025.
