Hi! Welcome! My name is Ashley and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in sunny San Diego, CA. I have now been a young adult therapist for a decade. I primarily work with college age and young women seeking a faith based approach to cope with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, codependency, and/or relational conflict. I take the lead from you and focus on your goals to a provide a comprehensive path toward healing. I also believe in the power of laughter, authentic relationship, and making safety a priority. My approach and belief is that therapy should be vibrant, trusted, authentic and safe. I hope we will be able to work together and you will get to walk into a more vibrant you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is our opportunity to connect and get to know each other. I do a brief review of your paperwork and then open up the discussion to learn about what's troubling you now, how long it has been an issue and what you have tried before. You are here to do something new! We get clear on how your story and history has impacted your life and what you want going forward. I strive to create a space of comfort and actively listen as you open up and go to those deep places. I offer authentic therapy that feels caring and stable.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have the ability to connect with younger people fairly easily. I can see the struggle and highlight it in a way that is not shaming or hurtful, but instead leads to hope and change. I have done this work for over 10 years and know how to advise on next steps, reduce risk, coach on communication and help teens and young adults find their stand in the world.
