Meet Ashley
Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to stop in. I have a profound respect for this work and the people with whom I have the honor of serving. You should know I (and any other therapist) are humans too! Meaning yes, I sing along to songs, laugh at my own amazing jokes, sometimes trip on my own feet. I am generally a positive person, optimistic and hopeful, laid-back temperament, and find humor in most situations. I enjoy balancing life by staying active with fitness and sports, saying yes to new adventures, and forever growing personally and professionally.
I have an experiential/humanistic theoretical orientation to my therapeutic work, which means I believe in presenting as congruent and authentic in my presence and seek to hold clients with positive regard. I believe each person has a natural disposition for growth and was created with deep wonder and value. I believe healing can happen as we give space to our unspoken needs and yearnings and draw closer into alignment with who we are. It is important to me to consider the unique intersectional identities of each client, and how this relates to their context and environment.
Why I love this profession? I am an extravert, community oriented, idealist, and love putting in work to overcome challenges. Therapy provides a unique space where I get to do all these at the same time - working with fellow humans to overcome challenges and reach their ideal!
