Her hope for each client is for them to know how it feels to be exquisitely seen and valued by creating a safe space cultivated by trust, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard.

Ashton favors a warm, client-centered, and integrative approach to facilitate healing and growth. She aims to explore effective ways to breakthrough childhood wounds and empower clients to reach a deeper level of functioning, healing, and master new coping skills.
