Accepting Clients

Hi! I'm Ashley, and I am a Marriage & Family Therapist Registered Associate in Oregon.

Marriage & Family Therapist in Sherwood, OR

About My Clients

I work with all kinds of clients, but I tend to work well with clients struggling with relational issues, anxiety, depression, & trauma. I work with a lot of people looking to improve their self-empowerment in their relationships.

My Background and Approach

I believe everyone has the capacity to grow & thrive with the right support. My approach to therapy is based on the idea that relationships are fundamental to the health & well-being of my clients. My role is to collaborate with & challenge my clients to help them change their life perspectives & exist in ways that bring them both happiness & empowerment. I favor inclusion of family in sessions, whether given or chosen, to create & maintain support & understanding. I employ a variety of tools from different theoretical orientations, including Equine Assisted Therapy, to help clients overcome the issues they bring to session. Working with horses adds a level of support that is unmatched in talk therapy. My goal is to meet you where you are in your life & offer a safe place for self exploration. Challenging yourself to feel motivated, in control, & confident in your abilities to achieve your goals & overcome the inevitable obstacles along the way is what therapy it all about.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I think most mental health issues are direct results of unhealthy behaviors learned from either chaotic childhood experiences or trauma. Luckily, if you can learn unhealthy behaviors, I believe you can also unlearn them and replace them with healthy ones. You just need some support & encouragement, and that is where I come in!
