More about Ashley

Hi, I am Ashley. Let me keep this simple: I am the kind of therapist who cares about you and tells you the truth.

If you are looking for someone to just nod, smile, and say “that sounds really hard” for 50 minutes, I might not be your person. But if you want someone who will listen, actually understand what you are saying, and then help you figure out what is really going on and what to do about it, we will get along well.

I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and all the fun things like overthinking, people pleasing, and getting stuck in the same patterns even when you know better. I also have an advanced certification in trauma informed care, which means I pay attention to your pace and make sure you feel safe, but I will still gently call things out when it matters.

My style is direct but never harsh. Think honest, supportive, and occasionally “okay wow, I feel slightly called out right now… but in a helpful way.” I will help you connect dots, challenge what is not working, and build actual tools you can use outside of therapy, not just talk in circles forever.

I also do not believe therapy has to feel stiff or overly serious all the time. You are allowed to laugh here. Sometimes we will talk through really hard things, and sometimes you will have moments where you realize something important and think, “wait… why have I been doing that?” Both are part of the process.

At the end of the day, my goal is to help you understand yourself better, stop feeling so stuck, and create a life that feels more like yours, not one you are just surviving.

If you want real conversations, honest feedback, and someone in your corner who is not going to sugarcoat everything but absolutely wants you to win, I have got you.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
