Ashley grew up in a small town in central Pennsylvania. She attended the College of William & Mary for her undergraduate education, and Temple University for graduate school. She completed a predoctoral psychology internship at Geisinger Medical Center, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
