Who We Are

Hi, I’m Ashley — a licensed social worker, US Dream Academy mentor, caregiver, and actor who’s fluent in speaking KID!

For over 18 years, I’ve worked alongside families in childhood development, helping nurture tiny humans with big imaginations, thoughts, and feelings. I believe every kid deserves respect, empathy, and support from the grown-ups in their world.

Using evidence-based approaches like nervous system regulation, play, clear communication, and emotional support, I help families create healthy, connected dynamics where children and caregivers can thrive together.

I hold a Master’s in Social Work with a Certificate in Interpersonal Violence and Trauma, and a Master of Fine Arts in Devised Performance with a focus on movement and physical theatre. These experiences taught me how to stay calm in crisis, think creatively, collaborate deeply, and bring playfulness into problem-solving and conflict resolution.

I can’t wait to connect and support the incredible kiddos in your life!
