Complete Within

About Ashleigh

Therapeutic Practice

I have been working in the psychotherapy and counseling field for over 10 years. I have a compassionate and receptive style that I combine with an integrative therapeutic approach, drawing on different types of therapy, including IFS, EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Transpersonal Therapy. I provide gender-affirming care to transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people. The specific interventions that I use are adapted to meet each clients’ individual treatment needs.

Treatment Focus

My focus is to help adult individuals heal, recover, and feel empowered. I specialize in treatment for those recovering from eating disorders, trauma, depression, addictions, intimacy and attachment disorders, and codependency. It is my philosophy that each one of us has our own wisdom and capacity to heal. I am of the belief that no one is broken, nothing is missing, and people do not need to be fixed. Instead we need to learn the skills to trust ourselves and strengthen our ability to extend compassion inward so that we can recognize that we have been complete within all along.

Purpose

I believe success in recovery necessitates cultivating authentic human connections. My aim as a clinician is to help people to strengthen and deepen their sense of connection both internally and externally. I hope to help people realize the importance and strength of their self-expression and vulnerability.

Life can be complex and challenging. I strive to assist each individual along their path of personal transformation to foster a most beautiful life. When we try to avoid feelings of pain, loss, and suffering because they feel too difficult to tolerate, we also limit our ability to feel the joys, abundance and grandeur that life has to offer. I want to help people learn to not shy away from the struggle, but instead to be curious about it so that they will be better able to create the life that they want. The key is to recognize that we are not alone. Investing in ourselves and one another is vital to our positive evolution. Success in recovery comes down to trust, readiness, and courage.

May our work together help you to cultivate the courage needed to remove your emotional masks, face yourself and those around you in your whole truth, and choose to heal through connection and compassion.
