I have a passion for helping individuals heal in areas of their life that are often overlooked or neglected and assisting in fully knowing themselves and their stories more intimately so they can move through life with a greater sense of freedom. I am a believer that positive change can happen for everyone.
Hi, I’m Ashley! I consider myself a beacon of light, shining brightly to positively impact the lives of those around me. Throughout my life, I have faced triumphs and challenges, all of which have shaped who I am today. Personal growth comes from embracing life’s highs and lows. Through determination, perseverance, and resilience, I’ve learned the importance of self-love and acceptance.
I've learned that every experience, whether positive or negative, plays a vital role in shaping our futures. Committed to sharing my knowledge and experiences with others as I continue to grow, I’m passionate about helping people reach their full potential. By embracing the journey and the destination, we can truly savor life’s beauty.
Reflecting on my journey towards emotional healing, I’m reminded of the depth of generational and childhood trauma that has shaped me. Becoming a mother, I made a conscious decision to end this legacy of pain. The path to healing has been solitary and daunting. As a woman of color, I’ve faced unspoken expectations of resilience, with little room for vulnerability. These pressures fueled my determination to create a safe space for individuals like myself, who are often marginalized and sidelined.
In the midst of change, I discovered the power of resilience, inner strength, and hope. I learned to cultivate a space that fosters healing, peace, self-love, and forgiveness. My journey has taught me that transformation is possible, no matter how insurmountable the obstacles may seem.
I believe in the transformative power of healing and growth for everyone, including you. Let’s embark on this journey together, embracing our past while welcoming a brighter future.
I love music, movies, travel, reading, and spending time with my family. My favorite quote is, “My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” -Maya Angelou.
I have experience working in government and non-profit organizations with various individuals in community-based mental health, outpatient programs, and school-based settings. I have received training in Holistic mental health and Evidence-Based Practices such as Solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy. My goal is to always learn & support from a perspective of curiosity.
I earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University, and am currently a Ph.D. in Systems, Families, and Couples at Loma Linda University Candidate.
