“I am passionate about providing compassionate individualized care to adults, their partners, families, and communities through a strengths-based, empowerment-focused approach to whole-self healing and wellness. I became interested in helping others heal and grow after my own personal experiences struggling with mental health challenges, as well as watching loved ones struggle with addiction, mental health, toxic family situations, and chronic health/pain issues. I’ve seen and experienced the healing power in being able to unpack your story and share what has shaped you. I know what it is like to work with a professional who partners with you to create your unique, authentic path towards healing, and want to be able to offer the very same to those I work with.
As a client, you an expect to be honored with respect, empathy, and enthusiastic support as we come to a better understanding of what shaped you into the person you are today- and the potentials you hold inside of you. Knowing what a brave thing it is to reach out for help, I strive to build an attuned connection with my clients, with the intention of making that individual feel care for, nurtured, and celebrated during our time together. Together, we will explore your self-limiting beliefs and patterns of self-sabotaging behaviors (e.g. addictions, toxic relationships, disordered relationships with food/money/intimacy, etc). We will identify what needs to be released in order for you to grow. We were learn more about who you truly are, your purpose, your values, and the life you want to lead, all while developing a plan to help you continue cultivating this life outside of our time together. My ultimate goal is for you to re-discover a sense of excitement, hope, and curiosity about your future!”
Ash (she/they pronouns) earned both her BA in Psychology and Communication Studies (specializing in Interpersonal Relationships) and her Master’s of Social Work from the University of Denver. She has worked in various clinical settings, ranging from a drop-in center for LGBTIQ+ youth, child welfare, and, most recently, a nationally renowned treatment center serving those struggling with mental health and substance use concerns, in both their residential and outpatient clinics. Previous to Ash’s transition to working in mental health, she worked extensively in the nonprofit, advocacy, research, and animal welfare sectors. Ash has received extensive training in working with those with complex needs, including those living with experiences that limit their quality of life as a result of the impact of trauma, addiction, and mental health concerns. Her clinical approach could be described as eclectic, as she feels it is important to use an approach that fits the unique needs of the client. Ash works from a queer-friendly, trans-affirming, sex-positive, anti-ableist, anti-racist framework, and is committed to her ongoing work around her own power and privilege as an AFAB White individual. Ash identifies within the LGBTQIA+ communities and lives with a few chronic health conditions that have shaped her experience in then e world. She welcomes these conversations in the therapy space, feeling that those with marginalized identities deserve an accessible place to receive support.
