Therapy for High-Functioning Anxious Women & Couples
You’ve mastered outward success but inward you’re wired, anxious, ‘should-ing’ yourself into exhaustion.
You’ve done the deep breath, the journaling, the podcasts, but the same patterns keep showing up: people-pleasing, saying yes when you want to say no, overthinking your relationships, or feeling like you’re giving everything and getting little in return.
You might find yourself saying “I know I should feel grateful” while secretly wondering “Why do I still feel like this?”
If you’ve ever wondered “Why am I like this?” you’re in the right place. Understanding the root of your patterns is the key to healing them. When you discover why you think, feel, and react the way you do, everything starts to change.
Therapy that goes beyond coping skills
Hi there, I'm Ashley
(she/her)
I specialize in de-mystifying anxiety and relationship patterns by helping you understand the beliefs, experiences, and nervous system responses that created them. When you can see the story beneath the symptoms, healing becomes not only possible, but sustainable.
I integrate:
Adlerian Therapy to uncover the root of self-worth issues and belief systems
EMDR & Lifespan Integration to process emotional experiences stored in the body
Attachment- and insight-based therapy to help you build secure relationships with others and with yourself
Mindfulness and CBT tools to give you practical strategies for daily life
This isn’t therapy where you just talk about stress and logoff. This is therapy designed to help you feel different.
credentials & training
I've been where you're at, and I understand the struggle.
“As a therapist, I’m dedicated to helping millennials live better lives.”
In my early 20s, anxiety began taking over my life. I was high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed inside. Counselling helped me understand myself in a way I never had before. It gave me tools, insight, and relief that I couldn’t access on my own.
I became a therapist to help people like me and like you—deep thinkers, sensitive high-achievers, people who care deeply and feel deeply—to finally find peace in their minds, bodies, and relationships. Because we need connection to thrive.
I get what it’s like to feel anxious, to carry the emotional load, and to keep striving for balance. You keep climbing the ladder but when you pause you wonder “why does this still feel hollow?” And I know that healing is possible with the right support and the right approach. Your therapy will be tailored to your needs and goals, ensuring a bespoke counselling experience.
Clients who work with me report feeling more in touch with themselves, have more satisfying relationships, set boundaries without worrying about pleasing others, and feel more empowered.
