A bit about my approach to therapy

I approach therapy using a culturally- competent and humorous way. Ashley often says “Self-discovery is a journey that many people find themselves struggling to understand. There is a complexity to human relationships that can further complicate this journey. I want to help you find the love and the light within your relationships and self in order to help you create and mold a better YOU.”

What you can expect from our first session

In therapy, Ashley creates a warm and supportive environment and incorporates extensive therapeutic training and mindfulness into treatment plans. Her goal is to provide clients with the tools they need to move forward and grow. Ashlely is well versed in trauma and crisis therapy, and is committed to helping clients become the best version of themselves.
