You Need Therapy As Unique As You Are
Therapy that goes deeper than coping skills and actually gets to the root of your anxiety, stress & relationship patterns.
You’re done with therapist roulette and ready for someone who gets you:
•You’re insightful and self-aware, but still feel overwhelmed inside
•You carry the emotional weight in your relationships
•You’re tired of overthinking every decision and saying yes when you want to say no
You’re worthy of time, attention, and healing, not surface level strategies.
Let’s make sense of your story, uncover the roots of what is keeping you stuck, and help you feel emotionally secure in your life and relationships.
credentials & training
therapy for anxiety and stress — is this you?
You're high-functioning and "seem fine," but internally, stress and anxiety are running the show.
You overthink and worry about letting people down…
You know your past shaped your patterns, but you’re not sure how to break them…
You feel responsible for keeping the peace and struggle to put your needs first…
You crave emotional security in your relationships, not guessing what others want…
You’ve tried podcasts, journaling, yoga, and “just pushing through it,” but nothing has created lasting change…
Through our work together, you’ll learn practical tools, unravel root causes, rewrite your unhelpful beliefs, and feel grounded & secure.

Workshops
I offer workplace wellness workshops on various topics, including work-stress balance, psychological safety, and social media + mental health. I‘m also a specially trained facilitator for the Gottman Seven Principles for Couples.
Living with anxiety, stress, and the need to keep everyone happy is exhausting, which is why my approach goes deeper than surface-level coping skills.
Hello, I'm Ashley!
REGISTERED CLINICAL COUNSELLOR AND EMDR THERAPIST
My therapy approach can help you understand why these patterns developed and how to change them at the root.
Together, we will explore the connection between your past experiences, nervous system responses, and current relationship patterns. Our work will help you process unresolved emotional triggers, build internal security, and create the self-worth you need to set boundaries, reduce anxiety, and feel grounded in your life and relationships.
You don’t need more “quick tips.” You need real relief, insight, and a new way of being with yourself.
What to Expect in Therapy
01. Clarify Your Story
We begin by identifying what feels overwhelming, where anxiety shows up, and how people-pleasing or relationship stress is affecting your life. If you’re unsure of your goals, I help you uncover them by exploring patterns, triggers, and what you truly want for yourself.
02. Heal and Rewire
Using a personalized treatment plan with EMDR, Adlerian therapy, and insight-based techniques, we work on the root causes, not just the symptoms. You’ll learn nervous system regulation, boundary-setting tools, and mindset shifts that help you feel secure, calm, and more in control.
03. Integrate & Thrive
As progress begins, we focus on building emotional resilience, maintaining gains, and strengthening your identity and relationships. You’ll leave with long-term strategies, anchored self-worth, and the confidence to move forward without anxiety running the show.
Therapy that creates real change.
You’re ready to feel calm, confident, and secure, but you’re not sure how to get there.
Maybe you’ve tried to manage anxiety or set boundaries on your own, but the patterns keep coming back.
Therapy can help you break the cycle of overthinking, people-pleasing, and emotional burnout so you can create fulfilling, secure relationships—with others and with yourself.

Therapy isn’t necessary for all people all the time. A consultation is a great opportunity to meet and chat briefly about what concerns you have to help determine if therapy is needed right now.
Online therapy is not appropriate for everyone. You will want to consider factors such as if you have a private space where you can attend sessions, having a secure internet connection, and even the seriousness/intensity of the topic if you hope to fit online therapy sessions in among your daily appointments.

Newly starting clients are recommended to meet weekly. This helps build momentum toward your goals and will quickly give you a sense of if we are a good fit to work together. Frequent sessions are especially helpful for those who are new to therapy, or new to my practice.
Each person’s therapy process depends on a lot of factors. Generally, for one newly emerging issue you can expect to feel significantly better within 10 weeks of regular sessions. This isn’t the rule (or even the exception), but it can help to set some expectations.
