Hey there,
IN A WORLD THAT DEMANDS SO MUCH, I WANT TO NORMALIZE BEING HUMAN. THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME WITH YOUR STORY.
Hi! I’m Ashley, a Zillennial social worker in the making - think Backstreet Boys and AOL Instant Messaging meets One Direction and Instagram. My approach to working with clients centers around building a trusting, safe and respectful relationship. My style is warm, honest and lighthearted.
I work with adults navigating issues around anxiety, depression, OCD, disordered eating/eating disorders and aging. Additional areas of interest include veterans, the Deaf community, trauma, movement disorders, dementia related disorders, mania and psychosis.
Some modalities I turn to are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) and Mind-Body- Spirit approaches.
Education: I am passionate about learning and consider myself a life long learner. I hold a Certificate and Associates of Applied Arts Degree (AAA) focused in Sign Language Interpreting. I received my Bachelors of Science degree (BS) with a focus in Biology. Currently, I’m pursuing my Masters of Social Work degree (MSW) with successful completion of the Combat Veterans Certificate.
