You may feel stuck, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure how to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, or major life changes. You want clarity, confidence, and practical tools to create real, lasting change—especially if your experiences feel complex or layered.

Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m a therapist who genuinely cares about helping people feel understood, supported, and a little less alone in what they’re going through. Reaching out for therapy can be hard, and I don’t take it lightly when someone chooses to share their story with me. I work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and just feeling overwhelmed by life. A lot of my work focuses on helping you understand what’s going on in your body and nervous system, learn how to regulate emotions, and find coping tools that actually work in your day-to-day life.

The world we live in can be a scary place all on its own. You are not alone. Recognizing the need for help and asking for it can be overwhelming and difficult. I know it was hard, but I'm so proud of you for taking that first step. A mentor once told me, “We walk alongside our clients on their journey, and our role is that of the lantern holder, shining light on the path in the dark.” This visual has become the foundation of my approach to therapy.

My specialty is attachment-based, trauma-informed therapy for adults and couples. I work at the intersection of attachment trauma, ADHD, and trauma-related stress, including PTSD. Therapy focuses on helping clients understand their relational and nervous system patterns, slow down reactivity, and build safer, more secure ways of relating. With couples, we work to identify negative cycles and strengthen emotional connection. With individuals, we focus on regulation, insight, and practical strategies that support real-life functioning.

Life is a journey. How often have you heard that? As we find our road through life, we all need inspiration and guidance. Having an outside perspective to navigate that journey can help us view our path through a different lens. It is my goal as your therapist to create a safe, supportive, and accepting environment for you to share your story. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for therapy. Whether it's learning coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or just having someone to talk to, I get it. Life isn't easy and you don't have to tackle this journey alone.

Unfortunately, painful events in life are inevitable. The good thing is that suffering from these events can be optional. Helping people to build or rebuild a life with a new "normal" through these difficult times is something I have enjoyed doing for almost 25 years. I have had the privilege of working with people by addressing a variety of issues including substance abuse and other addictions, co-occurring disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationships, divorce, unresolved grief, co-dependency, and anger management to name a few. Together, we can restore the peace, serenity and confidence back in your life.

You may find yourself overthinking relationships, feeling responsible for other people's emotions, or noticing the same patterns show up again and again in your life. Many people come to therapy because something feels off. Relationships feel strained, transitions hit harder than expected, or familiar patterns keep showing up. I work with adults who want therapy that goes beyond symptom management. Often, clients feel stuck or frustrated by patterns they can sense but don’t fully understand, even when they’re trying their best. Together, we work to identify these patterns and make sense of what’s getting in the way of change.

The weight of anxiety, perfectionism, and intrusive or obsessive thoughts can quietly shape daily life. Many of the clients I work with describe a strong internal drive to manage, control, or prevent things from going wrong, even at the cost of rest or ease. In therapy, we take time to understand these inner dynamics and respond to them with greater compassion and clarity. These patterns often show up as self-doubt, mental checking, or difficulty resting. Our work together will focus on understanding their role and gently making space for more ease.

The first thing that anyone says when describing me is, “Alyssa loves her work!”. I’m not only good at providing my clients with a listening ear in times of need and skills to better help them navigate these challenges, but I also really enjoy doing it. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, to feel that their struggles and challenges are valid and to know that they are not alone.  During my time working in the mental health field, I’ve gained valuable skills in communication, understanding, and patience that I bring to every session.
