 Hi, I’m Aspen! 

I’m excited you’re here. I am passionate about helping clients improve their relationship with themselves, their bodies, and their loved ones. I love to support clients in building self-confidence in themselves and their relationships, improve communication skills, increase boundary-setting and assertiveness skills, connect more with their sexuality, and reduce anxiety.

I enjoy connecting with my clients in an authentic way—I show my full personality, and I want clients to feel comfortable doing the same. My approach involves not only active listening and empathy, but also lots of curiosity and exploration, compassionate confrontation, and humor. 

I take an integrated approach that helps clients increase self-awareness and heal from childhood trauma or parental neglect, and/or grow from faith deconstruction. I love to help clients let go of dieting, heal their emotional and/or binge eating, and improve their body image.

The therapeutic modalities I lean on most include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Reality Therapy, Feminist Therapy, parts work, and polyvagal/body-based approaches.  

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) with a Master of Science in Counseling from University of Phoenix, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Language and Literature from North Carolina State University.

I am originally from Arizona but grew up in Raleigh, NC. In my free time, I love to walk my dog, cook, go to hot yoga classes, try new restaurants, spend time with loved ones, and travel. Along with my therapy work, I am the Mentorship Program Coordinator for the Arizona Counselor Association.

I look forward to working with you!
