Clinical Therapist

I’m a Filipino-American engineer-turned-psychotherapist who specializes in trauma and professional clinical counseling. I have worked in diverse environments and have extensive experience with teens and adults in crisis. I have seen firsthand how trauma, depression, anxiety, and other challenges can impact lives. But I’ve also seen how healing is possible. I am driven by my curiosity and desire to bring my humanness into the therapeutic relationship. My approach to treatment is tailored to the needs of each client. My work draws from trauma-informed practices, somatic interventions, and Narrative Therapy. I hold certification as a 500-Clinical Yoga Practitioner. I am also EMDR Trained. My goal is to guide clients towards introspection, growth, and healing so that they may be free from suffering, be empowered to face life’s challenges, and live authentic lives. If you’re ready for change, let’s talk. I’m here to help you on your unique journey towards healing.

Ashley believes that all individual experiences are valid, and that each of us hold wisdom on our own healing.
