Are you tired of constantly waiting for the next bad thing to happen?
It’s been a long time since you’ve felt like yourself
You feel disconnected from your body, like you are surviving on autopilot.
You can’t remember the last time your body actually felt safe.
You crave closeness and connection with others but find it hard to trust or let others in.
You find yourself overanalyzing every interaction, wondering if you did something wrong.
You wonder who you’d be if you weren’t always anxious, guarded, or on edge.
You constantly feel like you can’t trust yourself or your choices.
You keep busy so you don’t have to feel your emotions.
You just want to feel like you again, the person you were before the trauma. You’ve read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, scrolled endlessly for answers, maybe even tried therapy… but nothing’s truly gotten to the root of what’s going on. You’re ready to stop just coping and are ready to start being yourself again.
Welcome to the space where things can finally be different.
Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m here to help you do the things that have felt scary, face what’s been holding you back, and finally start healing.
Together, we’ll start the process of healing and creating real change.
I meet you where you are in your healing journey. Many of my clients come to me after trying other therapies that felt supportive but didn’t lead to the deep healing or lasting change they hoped for. They worked hard holding it all together maybe for everyone but themselves. You’re strong, insightful, and capable, yet find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Whether it’s old wounds that keep resurfacing or current stress that feels all-consuming, therapy can be the place where you finally stop surviving and start healing.
I am open, warm, and sometimes a little sassy. I use humor, honesty, and truth-telling to help you face what’s hard. Trauma therapy should feel safe, understanding, and human, not shameful. I create a space where you are supported, empowered, and able to do the work that truly heals.
The Work I Specialize In
Complex & Relational Trauma
Complex trauma occurs when someone experiences repeated or prolonged traumatic events, often starting in childhood. Relational trauma—trauma that happens in the context of important relationships—can leave lasting impacts on your sense of self, emotional regulation, and how you connect with others. I help women process these layered experiences, heal deep emotional wounds, and reclaim their sense of safety, strength, and self-worth.
Self-esteem & Relationships
You’ve spent so much time showing up for everyone else that somewhere along the way, you lost touch with yourself. Maybe you keep ending up in relationships where you feel unseen, anxious, or like you’re too much or not enough. Together, we’ll get to the root of those patterns, quiet the self-doubt, and help you rebuild self-trust. This work is about learning to feel confident in who you are, set boundaries that stick, and create relationships that actually feel good.
Sexual & Combat Trauma (Military)
Serving in the military can change how you see the world and yourself. Whether you experienced trauma in combat, military sexual trauma (MST), or both, healing starts with being seen and understood without judgment. We’ll work to process what happened, regain a sense of safety and trust, and reconnect with the parts of you that were left in survival mode for too long.
Real Therapy. Real Support. Healing Wherever You Are (Just Add WiFi).
Online Therapy
You’re busy and finding time to drive to an appointment can feel impossible. Online therapy is perfect for anyone who needs flexibility and wants therapy to fit into their life, not the other way around. You can be seen from the comfort of your home, during your lunch break at work, or even from your car or any other confidential space that works for you.
As long as you have an internet connection and are located in a PSYPACT state, such as Florida, Virginia, Illinois, or Maryland, I can see you online. I’m a licensed psychologist with over five years of experience providing online therapy, successfully adapting in-person approaches to the virtual setting while maintaining your privacy. I use only HIPAA-compliant communication platforms and some of the highest-rated systems to protect your information, so you can focus on your healing with confidence and peace of mind.

Trauma Therapy Services
Services are offered in English and Spanish
-
Individual therapy is the traditional format most people are familiar with. You meet with me once a week (or every other week), gradually working through challenges over time. Offered in formats of 45 or 60 minutes.
-
Trauma intensives offer a different kind of healing experience. Instead of spreading sessions over weeks or months, you work with me for longer sessions over a shorter period of time (for example, a few hours a day over several days). This allows you to go deeper, stay more focused, and make faster progress.
-
The Gratitude Center offers both EMDR and EMDR 2.0 (updated version of EMDR that incorporates neuro-science-based techniques to speed up processing). EMDR and EMDR 2.0 are offered via weekly therapy or intensive therapy.
