Hey there! I am so happy that you have reached out for therapy. My name is Ashley and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist for the state of California with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as a way to create a safe and comfortable therapeutic environment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
During our first session, I will get to know you, your background, why you are seeking therapy, and what you hope to accomplish or grain from therapy.
I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Some of the approaches and modalities I incorporate into our sessions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Some strengths that I embrace are actively engaging and listening empathetically to my clients. I strive to meet my clients where they are, emotionally and mentally, and communicate in a compassionate and culturally competent manner.
Ideal clients will be open to change and vulnerability within our therapeutic space.
