There is a path toward
clarity & hope
Hi, I'm Ashley
I meet you where you are in your journey toward healing. In therapy, we work together to create a space where you feel a deep sense of belonging and safety that invites you to explore whatever it is that first moved you to wonder about change, growth, hope, and healing.
Therapy is hard work and I believe you are well-equipped to invest in yourself.
I work with individuals facing any number of concerns, including those related to anxiety and depression, trauma, grief, life stage changes, relational difficulties, career stress and change, racial identity, and multiracial family dynamics.
I have expertise in educational settings (higher education and K-12) and its pains and joys, and I am passionate about breaking down barriers to how we think and talk about mental health as a broader community. I deeply believe that investing in the mental health care of youth can change the future.
Why therapy?
Do any of the following resonate for you?
-
Overwhelming life stressors
-
Loss of motivation
-
A shift in quality of emotional well-being
-
A desire to change, but feeling stuck
-
A sense of disconnection
-
Transitions in family, work, or self-understanding
Together, we'll nurture a safe place to practice taking healthy risks as you learn more about how you reflect, relate, and regulate. It is my sincere belief and hope that you will also discover the strengths and wisdom already within you that will enhance and personalize the coping skills you cultivate through therapy.
As a therapist, I view you as a whole person inside your daily context. I'm curious about your relationships, physical health, personality, beliefs, questions that keep you up at night, family background, how you think and feel about yourself, the ways you're coping with life stressors, and much more. This biopsychosocial perspective is a lens I use to guide me as your therapist.
Our work together will be emotion-focused and relational to empower you to develop skills like distress tolerance, mindfulness, awareness of your body and needs, and self-compassion as you work on the goals that brought you to therapy.
Services
Adult Therapy
We will work together to create goals to focus on in therapy based upon the needs and concerns that bring you to therapy.
My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual. Our work together will be emotion-focused and relational to empower you to foster skills like distress tolerance, mindfulness, awareness of your body and needs, and self-compassion.
Adolescent Therapy
My work with adolescents (12+ ) will be developmentally informed and tailored to the unique needs of each child.
I partner with adolescents and parents/guardians to make therapy approachable and collaborative, and at times, will facilitate conversations between child and caregiver to enrich the individual work with the adolescent.
College Students
Navigating mental health during college is a unique challenge for a variety of reasons. Many face concerns like living far from family, experiencing independence for the first time, balancing work/family/education, financial stressors, and much more!
I specialize in assisting those experiencing mental health concerns during this pivotal time of life.
