Ashland holds a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Her undergraduate work was in Psychology, with a concentration of Christian Counseling. Ashland has several years of experience working with individuals and families in areas including, but not limited to, drug and alcohol use, depression, ADD/ADHD, domestic violence, divorce or separation, foster care and adoption, as well as education and employment planning.

Ashland has particular interests in working with couples from dating through marriage, with biological or blended families through all stages of development, with individuals who are seeking personal growth, and with those who are trying to overcome substance use issues. She firmly believes that the best possible approach to counseling lies within the integration of modern psychology and traditional biblical principles. Ashland stands on the Truth that God has plans for each and every person who will genuinely seek Him, even when the present circumstances of this life do not seem to make sense. Ashland finds fulfillment in walking alongside people who are broken and hurting, in order to help them discover or re-discover the joy God wants them to have.
