Are you tired of feeling stuck in constant spirals?
It’s been a long time since you’ve felt like yourself
Your mind never seems to shut off, constantly scanning for what could go wrong especially at night.
You struggle to sleep because your thoughts feel loud, urgent, and relentless.
You have a hard time letting others take control, because it feels safer to carry everything yourself.
You replay conversations in your head, wondering if you said the wrong thing or upset someone.
You wonder who you’d be if you weren’t always anxious, guarded, or on edge.
You overanalyze your options until making a decision feels impossible.
You keep chasing the next achievement, hoping that this time you’ll finally feel like enough.
You’ve read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, scrolled endlessly for answers, and maybe even tried therapy. Still, nothing has quite reached the root of what’s really happening beneath the anxiety, the overthinking, and the constant push to keep it together.
Welcome to the space where things can finally be different.
Hi, I’m Ashley. I help people who appear capable and “put together” on the outside, but feel anxious, guarded, or stuck on the inside. Together, we gently face what’s been holding you back, work on the root of anxiety and trauma, and create the space for you to feel like yourself again.
Together, we’ll build the internal confidence and self-trust needed for real, lasting change.
I meet you exactly where you are in your healing journey. Many people I work with come to me after trying other therapies that felt supportive but did not lead to the deep healing or lasting change they were hoping for. Some have even felt dismissed or misunderstood by previous therapists or that the space they needed simply was not held for them. They have spent a long time holding it all together, often for everyone else and rarely for themselves.
You are strong, insightful, and capable, yet still find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Whether it is old wounds that keep resurfacing or current stress that feels overwhelming, therapy can become the place where you finally stop surviving and begin to heal.
I show up as my real self, open, and warm. I use humor, honesty, and gentle truth-telling to help you face what feels hard without feeling alone or judged.
The Work I Specialize In
Trauma & PTSD
You may have lived through emotional abuse, physical harm, sexual abuse, or neglect, and even if those experiences are in the past, their impact can still feel very present. Trauma doesn’t disappear just because you try not to think about it.It tends to linger, quietly shaping how you see yourself, other people, and the world. You might notice it’s hard to trust, hard to relax, hard to believe things will turn out okay. Maybe your mind jumps to worst-case scenarios, or you assume something will go wrong before it even begins. Over time, these patterns can grow stronger, as the weight of what happened continues to influence your thoughts, reactions, and relationships.
Self-esteem & Relationships
For many high-achieving women, overachieving isn’t just about ambition, it’s often a way of proving your worth. You push yourself, take on more than feels comfortable, and chase accomplishments, praise, or recognition, hoping it will quiet the voice that whispers, “You’re not enough.” Rest can feel uneasy, slowing down can feel risky, and mistakes can feel heavier than they really are. From the outside, it looks like drive and success, but inside it can feel exhausting, like your value is always tied to what you do or achieve. Deep down, what you’re really seeking isn’t another win, it’s the quiet reassurance that you are enough, just as you are.
Anxiety
Anxiety isn’t just occasional stress, it can feel like your mind never truly switches off. You might overthink conversations, replay situations, or constantly worry about what’s coming next. On the outside, you may seem capable and in control, but inside you feel tense, exhausted, and unable to fully relax. You might say yes when you want to say no, take on too much, and struggle to enjoy the present moment.
Real Therapy. Real Support. Healing Wherever You Are (Just Sprinkle in some WiFi).
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, Washington DC, or Maryland, I can see you online. I’m a licensed psychologist with over ten years of experience providing 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 & Anxiety 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.
