I’m Ashton (he/him/his), a queer, transmasculine social worker and harm reduction advocate. During our sessions, my clients can expect a compassionate atmosphere that encourages creativity and growth. Clients of all gender identities can safely explore their feelings without fear of invalidation or gatekeeping. I highlight my clients' strengths in the face of adversity, acknowledging the role that alcohol and substance use plays in managing stress. Together, my clients and I generate unique strategies to deal with the ebbs and flows of everyday life.
I support my clients in making meaning of their life experiences and building resilience in stressful times. My style of therapy combines creative problem-solving with self-reflection and affirmation. I also connect my clients to harm reduction resources and gender-affirming transition medicine.
If you are looking for a nonjudgmental and compassionate space to grow, connect with me and schedule a consultation!
