Ashley’s Specialties:

  • Gender + LGBTQ+-Affirming Therapy: As a therapist specializing in gender and LGBTQ affirming therapy, I am deeply committed to cultivating a liberation-focused and inclusive space for individuals to explore their gender and sexual identities, and the impact of social constructs, constraints, and stressors. My approach is rooted in lived experience, empathy, respect, and a firm belief in the importance of affirming each person's authentic self. I understand the complexities of navigating societal expectations and the impact it can have on mental health. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, where you are free to explore who you are, express the wide spectrum of your feelings, and navigate the challenges that may arise. My goal is to provide unwavering support, foster resilience, and empower you to embrace your true self, promoting mental well-being and a sense of belonging. Whether you're navigating issues related to gender, sexuality, or simply seeking a supportive space, I am here to help you navigate and celebrate your journey.

  • Bipolar, Depression, + Mood Concerns: In my work with folks with bipolar, depression, and mood diagnoses, my approach is founded on compassion, understanding, and evidence-based strategies. I recognize the nuanced challenges individuals with bipolar and other mood disorders face, and my commitment is to provide a supportive space where we can collaboratively navigate the complexities of these conditions. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs, we will explore mood regulation, coping mechanisms, and strategies for building resilience. I aim to empower you to better understand your emotions, manage fluctuations, and work towards a more stable and fulfilling life. Together, we'll embark on a journey toward improved emotional well-being, emphasizing both your strengths and the development of effective tools to navigate the highs and lows associated with bipolar and mood disorders.

  • Therapy for Teens: In my work with adolescents, I bring a passion for understanding and navigating the unique challenges faced by young individuals during this pivotal stage of life. Recognizing the complexities of adolescence, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where teens can openly express themselves. My approach is rooted in building trust and rapport, fostering an environment where adolescents feel heard and validated. Whether addressing issues related to identity, self-esteem, peer relationships, or academic pressures, I collaborate with my adolescent clients to explore their experiences and develop coping strategies. My goal is to empower teens to navigate the complexities of adolescence, build resilience, and discover their authentic selves. Together, we work towards fostering a sense of self-discovery, emotional well-being, and the skills necessary for a successful transition into adulthood.
