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 7 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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Together we will work to connect how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are impacting your ability to meet your goals and pursue the life you want. By strengthening the coping skills you already possess and moving closer to honoring your values, we will lean into your capacity to create the changes in your life you want to see.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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.
