Ashley takes a very holistic and client-centered approach, integrating relational cultural theory, mindfulness, somatic experience, and acceptance and commitment therapeutic approaches.
Ashley believes in working to see each client’s struggles and concerns through the client’s eyes, gaining insight into the client’s internal and external world to best support them on their mental health journey. Ashley maintains curiosity and genuine interest in each person’s life experiences and how the stories that we tell ourselves and relationships with others shape us. Through collaboration, empowerment, and being highly present with the client, Ashley believes that what works best for each individual can be discovered. Fostering a safe, inviting, and comfortable space for each client is of utmost importance to Ashley too. Ashley is interested in working with couples and adults on adjustment/stress management, anxiety, depression, and/or trauma.
In her downtime, Ashley enjoys anything fitness or outdoor related. Nature and exercise play a huge role within mental health and anytime Ashley can combine both it is a win. Ashley loves to read, spend time with her wife, friends, and family. She can’t wait for the chance to work with you!

My therapy style is very collaborative and client-focused. I am always striving to see through the client’s lens and understand how they experience the world. I am all about goal setting and creating meaningful changes and insight during and outside of the session.

This is a toss up and completely depends on my mood. I love hiking, backpacking, and exploring the mountains on foot. However, I absolutely love the beach too and will always choose the beach for a more lowkey vacation.
