A Bit About Me
My goal is to lead one to understanding thoughts, behaviors, and communication styles. I recognize how nerve-wracking it could be to start the journey of therapy. I want to ensure that every client feels heard and communicates exactly how they feel and what therapeutic tools they prefer.
My experience has primarily been with young adults, adolescents, and children in a private practice setting. With this population, I typically use narrative and psychodynamic theory to provide support and guidance to both the individual and the parent if necessary. With this population,

What's one thing you wish all clients knew?
It's okay to experience the full range of emotions. It's impossible to be happy the majority of the time; however, it is vital to commit to finding ways to maintain being content and secure with who you are.

We have to guide ourselves to understand such feelings and accept the parts of ourselves that allow us to go through certain situations.
Why did you choose to practice at Ashe Counseling & Coaching LLC
The holistic approach that Ashe's counseling holds to mental health care is vital in our healthcare system because clients need to be viewed in various aspects for integrative and supportive care. We cannot begin to view the root cause of mental health challenges without evaluating an individual's occupational, environmental, financial, physical, and emotional states. The practice embodies such ideals with full support of the client's safety, security, and goals in mind.
The ability to learn why people are the way they are, their interactions with others, and it affects the view of the world around them. Most of us simply want to feel validated, supported, and cared for!
