Meet Ashley
If you’ve ever agonized over a text for hours, replayed a conversation with your mom on a loop, or left a hangout wondering if you said something “weird”… we’re probably a match made in therapy heaven. If your relationships—whether with friends, family, or partners—feel confusing, draining, or just a lot sometimes, you’re not alone.
I specialize in working with girlies like you who feel deeply, think a lot, and maybe haven’t always felt fully understood in their relationships. Maybe you’ve been labeled “too sensitive,” “too much,” or “not enough.” Maybe you’ve learned to overanalyze, people-please, or shape-shift just to keep the peace.

Together, we’ll start untangling those patterns so you can show up more authentically—without the constant self-doubt.
We’ll also make space for the parts of you you’ve been taught to judge—the quirks, the intensity, the overthinking, the emotional depth—and shift from “what’s wrong with me?” to “this makes sense.” Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about understanding you, softening the self-criticism, and helping you build relationships that actually feel safe, mutual, and aligned.
And yes, if life has thrown you a curveball—grief, relationship shifts, or changes in how you see yourself or your body—I’m here to walk through that with you, too. You don’t have to keep overthinking your way through everything. We can figure it out together.

you are so much more than your overstimulated feelings,
there is a healthy way to cope with those big feelings,
rest is productive NOT lazy, you actually do not have to understand everything, you were born with the exact strengths and gifts the Lord designed for YOU, and there is no limit to how many times you can rewatch Friday Night Lights.
