Psychotherapist

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” Victor Frankl

Hi, I’m Ashley, and if you’re reading this, you’re likely searching for support, clarity, or just someone who gets it. Whether you’re navigating the ups and downs of a relationship, wrestling with anxiety, or trying to make sense of emotions that feel all over the place, you’re in the right place. Therapy can be a bit intimidating at first—kind of like the awkward feeling of walking into a room full of strangers and not knowing where to sit. But let me assure you, once we start working together, that awkwardness will fade, and you’ll realize you’ve found a space where you can let your guard down.

I’m passionate about helping both couples and individuals navigate relationship challenges. While I’m working toward specialization in couples therapy, I genuinely enjoy guiding partners through tough conversations and helping them strengthen their emotional connection. I also love working with individuals who are dealing with relationship stress—whether it’s figuring out communication, rebuilding trust, or navigating the ups and downs of intimacy. Together, we’ll work on finding clarity and building healthier, stronger relationships.

Beyond relationships, I’m also here for individuals dealing with anxiety, trauma, or just a sense of feeling stuck. Life can feel overwhelming, but through techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, we’ll work on finding clarity and peace—even in the chaos. And for my clients struggling with self-worth or navigating their identity (LGBTQIA+ included), you’ll always have a safe, nonjudgmental space with me.

And let’s not forget—you don’t have to do this all perfectly. Progress isn’t about perfection; it’s about taking one step at a time. Sometimes we’ll laugh, sometimes we’ll tackle the hard stuff, but I’ll be with you through it all.

I believe in therapy that feels human, approachable, and full of empathy. No matter how messy things feel, I’m always going to be in your corner, rooting for you to find the peace and balance you deserve.
