Ashlee is an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW #138497) who is passionate about creating a supportive and welcoming environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process. She works with adolescents and adults, with particular clinical interests in adverse childhood experiences, anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem and identity development, family and relationship challenges, and establishing healthy boundaries.

Ashlee earned her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Fresno Pacific University and her Master’s degree in Social Work from Grand Canyon University. Her professional experience includes supporting individuals with disabilities as well as adolescents in the foster care system who have experienced trauma, abandonment, and abuse. These experiences have strengthened her understanding of how early life experiences, relationships, and individual circumstances can influence the way people view themselves, connect with others, and navigate challenges throughout their lives.

In her therapeutic work, Ashlee utilizes a strengths-based and person-centered approach while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care based on each client’s unique needs and goals. She believes in meeting clients where they are while helping them recognize their strengths, develop effective coping and emotional regulation skills, explore patterns, establish healthy boundaries, and work toward meaningful personal growth.

Outside of her clinical work, Ashlee enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, listening to music, and going to the beach. She values meaningful connections and appreciates finding opportunities to slow down, recharge, and enjoy time with the people who are important to her.
