Meet Ashley:

Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a Master's level student at the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND.  I am part of the Online Cohort, studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with a Concentration in Catholic Anthropology; I hope to integrate my Catholic faith into Counseling.  I earned my Bachelor's degree at Rivier University in Nashua, NH, where I majored in Psychology, and minored in Social Work.  After graduation, I worked as a children's case manager for about eight years.  Though I am originally from the greater Bangor area, I recently married, and live locally with my husband.  I am so blessed to be with Be Still Counseling, as it embodies everything that I've been learning, and allows me to practice being the counselor I'm meant to be.
