APPROACH
Therapeutic Methods to Support Your Progress
Healing doesn’t happen alone. Therapy is a process of moving through our internal worlds with curiosity, humility, and compassion. Establishing a supportive therapeutic alliance is fundamental for successful outcomes. In a safe, nonjudgmental environment, Ashlyn empowers your healing journey by adapting therapeutic models to fit your unique needs and goals.
Ashlyn's approach is rooted in a humanistic and client-centered philosophy, enriched by a blend of evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness Practices.
Ashlyn is trauma-informed and utilizes psychodynamic theory to delve into past relationships and attachment experiences. This framework enables Ashlyn to comprehensively understand your current functioning and the health of your adult relationships. Together we will explore relational triggers and interpersonal issues that are blocking healthy attachment relationships with the goal to improve connection and emotional wellbeing.
