Welcome.
Thank you for taking a moment to visit Firefly Psychotherapy. Whether you are facing a difficult life experience or seeking personal growth, reaching out for help is often the hardest part. Maybe you feel reluctant to share your personal life with a stranger, or you feel apprehensive about confronting your pain, or perhaps you've never been in therapy before and aren't sure how it works. Whatever you might be feeling, it's completely normal.
It may help you to know that there's no wrong way or right way for you, the client, to "do" therapy. Whatever you bring to the table is what we'll work with. It is my job, as a licensed professional counselor, to guide you through the therapeutic process and facilitate healing.
I work with a variety of tools and techniques, (see Ashley's Professional Profile page for more details), to help you reach personal goals while respecting your comfort levels. In other words,
I won't make you talk to an empty chair or keep a journal if you don't want to. The foundation of my therapeutic approach is Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT); in essence, MBT focuses on cultivating purposeful attention and observation, compassion, and nonjudgmental curiosity.
I have been honored to work with many wonderful people on a wide range of issues since becoming a therapist in 2007. I am so fortunate in that I love what I do and enjoy helping people from all walks of life tackle all sorts of challenges. However, I do have a special interest in treating adults experiencing anxiety and depression, difficulty with stress management, life transitions, grief and loss, and personal growth.
Please take a moment to explore my website. I have included information and resources that you may find helpful.
