Preferred Name: Ashlee
About Me
Ashlee enjoys working with the full life span, beginning at 2-years-old, through a wide variety of concerns. She considers it a deep honor to be entrusted on her clients’ paths to wellness and enjoys when clients are able to pursue wholeness, even when they have no words. With a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, neurobiological safety, and developmental models, Ashlee utilizes art, play, music, breath work, mindfulness, animal-assisted therapy, EMDR, and other evidence-based treatments in her provision of care. She fundamentally seeks to approach clients with cultural humility and believes in utilizing her clients’ strengths in the journey toward healing. Ashlee walks alongside clients pursuing hope and healing from a variety of complex experiences, including vicarious trauma, attachment concerns, adoption issues, parenting, and grief. Additional areas of specialty include providing mental healthcare to other helping professionals and treating complex trauma and dissociation, including dissociative identity disorder. Ashlee also trains and supervises counselors-in-training who treat similar client concerns and provides consultation to EMDR therapists looking to expand their skills in working with clients with complex trauma and dissociative presentations through developmental, parts-of-self, and attachment-focused lenses.
