Great to meet you!

You don't have to have your entire life figured out just because everyone around you seems to. Maybe you're overwhelmed by decisions, constantly second-guessing yourself, struggling with confidence, or wondering why your brain won't give you a break. I'm Ashley, and I help adolescents and young adults navigate anxiety, OCD, identity, relationships, and the pressure of figuring out what comes next. My style is direct, collaborative, and sometimes humorous—because therapy can be meaningful without always feeling heavy.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should give you both understanding and tools you can actually use. We'll look at the patterns keeping you stuck and practice new ways of responding rather than simply talking about what's wrong. I draw from CBT, ACT, ERP, REBT, and other evidence-based approaches, tailoring our work to you. If anxiety or OCD is keeping you trapped in overthinking, checking, avoidance, or reassurance-seeking, we'll work toward helping you reclaim your time and attention.

What you can expect from me

You don't need to know exactly what's wrong before you start. Bring the overthinking, self-doubt, intrusive thoughts, relationship struggles, or uncertainty about what's next, and we'll figure out where to begin. My goal is to help you understand yourself without getting stuck analyzing yourself—and leave therapy feeling more confident, capable, and free to move forward.
