"It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society"
~Jiddu Krishnamurti
Hello, I'm Ash and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State. I am specialized in working with anxiety, depression, developmental/complex trauma, generational/ancestral trauma, family of origin issues, and identity development (LGBTQ+/racial identity). From a holistic perspective, I consider how my client’s individual experiences and life story are impacted by the oppressive systems we live in. I help clients heal through trauma in a collaborative process and integrative approach to therapy. I blend modalities such as IFS, somatic awareness, client-centered/strengths-based, humanistic therapy. I also offer EMDR to treat trauma (acute and complex PTSD) and phobias. Traumatic experiences are varied and go beyond what most people may categorize as a trauma. Sometimes trauma stems from something less obvious, such as negative messaging from our family of origin. It is my hope that we can work together through building a safe and grounded relationship, and discover ways to unlock resilience, strength, and innate abilities to heal and thrive in life despite the wounds one carries.
