Being empowered, also means knowing when to let your mind, body, and soul, rest in stillness.

Hello, I’m Ashleigh (she/hers) and I am an LCSW. I am biracial (Filipina/White) and I was born and raised in San Diego County. I love hiking, doing yoga, reading, and going on adventures with my toddler!
I love working with...
I enjoy supporting individuals who feel challenged with anxiety, depressive symptoms, trauma, self-esteem, and difficult life transitions. I have experience working with youth, adults, parents, military, and first generation.
Some of my favorite approaches include...
To honor the many parts of a client, I use a blend of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and somatic experiencing. I also bring a therapeutic lens that acknowledges how clients’ culture, background, and intergenerational dynamics play a role in how they engage with the world and how the many systems that they are a part of impact their well-being and nervous system.
How I help...
I feel deep gratitude in sharing space with clients to offer connection, techniques, and practices that cultivate healing, authenticity, and growth. I am passionate about creating a warm and accepting therapeutic space where clients can feel like their most genuine selves in order to work through conflict, challenges, and heaviness that they may be experiencing in life.
I believe...
...that we are intuitive and adaptable beings and sometimes we need to lean onto others to remind ourselves of our strengths, skills, and spark.
What it's like in session with me
I strive to create slow and intentional spaces that honor clients’ strengths and capabilities, while also providing creative techniques that bring clients in touch with their mind, body, relationships, and community.
