Hi! I'm Ashley and I'm a licensed therapist providing virtual therapy in Florida. A little about me... I'm a first-generation Latina and Miami native. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I understand the unique pressures that can come with balancing family expectations, cultural values, achievement, independence, and figuring out who you are outside of what others expect from you. When I'm not in the therapy office, I'm usually training in MMA or spending time with the people I care about most. These parts of my life keep me grounded and balanced. I specialize in helping young adults and adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, low self-worth, and the impact of past experiences. My clients often leave therapy with a stronger sense of self, healthier boundaries, greater confidence in their decisions, and the ability to navigate life with less fear and more trust in themselves. I try to create a space that feels genuine, supportive, and real. My promise to you: I’ll show up as your therapist and will be in your corner. Email me to schedule your first session (:
There's absolutely ZERO pressure to have everything figured out at the first session. The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about what's been going on in your life, the challenges you're facing, and what you hope will be different as a result of therapy. I'll also ask questions about your background, relationships, and any experiences that may be important in understanding the bigger picture. My approach is conversational and collaborative. By the end of it, we might have initial goals and we'll discuss what moving forward together may look like.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to balance genuine compassion with practical guidance. Clients often tell me they feel deeply understood and supported, while also appreciating that I help them move beyond insight and toward meaningful change. I believe therapy should be a place where you can process difficult experiences, but also leave with a clearer understanding of yourself and practical tools to navigate life differently. Professionally, I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults across a variety of settings, including crisis assessment, residential treatment, community mental health, anxiety specialty care, and private practice. This background has allowed me to support clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, depression, emotional dysregulation, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping clients develop greater confidence, emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of who they are. Clients can expect a therapist who is warm, direct, collaborative, and invested in helping them create lasting change both inside and outside of the therapy room.
I work best with young adults and adults who are struggling with anxiety, overthinking, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, or the lasting impact of difficult life experiences. Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware but find themselves stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or second-guessing themselves. They come to therapy wanting to better understand themselves, build healthier relationships, trust their own judgment, and feel more confident navigating life's challenges.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
A lot of the work I do helps clients slow down and understand what's happening beneath their reactions. Together, we'll look at the thoughts, assumptions, and patterns influencing how you feel and respond to situations, then work on finding ways to approach challenges that feel more balanced and effective. My goal isn't to tell you what to think or how to think or to "just think positive! (lol ew.) I use CBT to help you understand yourself better and make choices that feel right for you.
Relational
Many of our struggles show up in relationships—with partners, family, friends, or even ourselves. I help clients explore how past experiences may be influencing current patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, fear of rejection, or constantly second-guessing themselves. The goal is to help you feel more secure in who you are, trust yourself more, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Trauma Informed Care
Life experiences can shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and respond to stress. I provide a supportive space to explore those experiences at a pace that feels comfortable while recognizing the impact they may still have today. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll work to understand the bigger picture, strengthen coping skills, and help you move forward with greater confidence and self-understanding.

I just had my first therapy session with Ashley, and I feel that she was very welcoming and warming as her new client. She was understanding of all my emotions and struggles, and helped me with understanding my thoughts, and I can’t wait for my next session! I definitely recommend her :)
