hi, i’m ashley
…and I’m so glad you’re here!
The name “Next Wave” came from my love of the ocean and listening to the waves crash. Waves can be giant or they can be small. We can jump into them with excitement or be carried underneath them with fear. This reminds me of life and how our stories are filled with waves. Some we cannot wait for and some we want to run from. Waves never stop so let me help you with the next one.
I can provide a safe, comfortable space to process important issues, needs, wants, or life events. I have worked with individuals of all ages and find that I am able to connect with those experiencing life changes including starting new jobs, college, and building new relationships. I love working with adult siblings to strengthen their relationships. I have also been known to dabble in dad jokes and a touch of sarcasm as needed.
Reaching out can be difficult and even a little scary. If you have come this far, you are strong enough to go another step. Please do not hesitate to email me with questions and I will do my best to provide what is needed.

Fun fact #2: celebrations
This life can be hard and I will celebrate all the wins with you. And if I catch you trying to minimize all the wins you need to prepare yourself for all the bells and whistles I bring into the therapy room!

Fun fact #3: My face
“It’s just my face.” If I had a quarter for every time someone asked if I was mad and I wasn’t I would be a lot richer. When in doubt, just ask! I’m probably just completely engrossed in your story and focused on what you’re saying!

Fun fact #4: 90's Rock
There’s a very good chance that if you pass me on the highway I’ll have an iced coffee in hand belting out lyrics to my favorite 90’s band. It’s my gift to the world.
You. Are. Welcome.
