Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m a queer-identified therapist specializing in LGBTQIA+ clients, people healing from trauma, and those navigating life transitions or relationship challenges. I’m trained in EMDR and integrate somatic, emotion-focused, and parts-based work to help you understand your patterns, regulate emotions, and feel safer and more at home in your body.

You're doing everything you're “supposed” to be doing, so why does everything feel so heavy? Maybe you're the friend everyone leans on but no one checks on. Maybe your emotions go from zero to a hundred, and the shame that follows lingers longer than the moment itself. Maybe you're facing a transition, a new school, a new job, a relationship ending or beginning, and everyone keeps asking about your plans when you're just trying to get through the week. I work with youth and adults who are tired of pretending they are fine. Therapy with me won't feel like being analyzed from across the room or handed a worksheet and sent on your way.
