Hello and welcome. I really enjoy getting to know people and building genuine connections as we move through the ups and downs of life together. In our work, we might focus on relationships, managing stress, improving communication, navigating life transitions, and finding steadiness with emotions and thoughts.

Do you find yourself overthinking everything, especially your relationships, conversations, or whether you’ve disappointed someone? Maybe you’re the person everyone depends on, yet you’re quietly overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted. You may have a hard time setting boundaries, constantly put other people’s needs ahead of your own, or find yourself seeking reassurance even when part of you knows everything is probably okay. Hi, I’m Ash. I’m a licensed therapist providing virtual therapy to adults in Massachusetts, Virginia, and Colorado. I specialize in working with people who struggle with anxiety, relationship patterns, low self-confidence, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty putting themselves first. Therapy with me is more than having a place to vent. I want to help you understand why these patterns keep happening and, more importantly, learn how to change them. Together, we’ll identify the thoughts, behaviors, relationship dynamics, and emotional patterns that are keeping you stuck. We’ll work on practical ways to manage anxiety, communicate more effectively, set boundaries without drowning in guilt, build confidence in your own decisions, and stop allowing fear or other people’s reactions to determine your choices. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and active. I’ll listen and validate your experiences, but I’m not a therapist who simply nods for 50 minutes. I’ll ask questions, offer honest feedback, gently challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you, and give you practical strategies to use outside of therapy. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You just need to be willing to get curious about yourself and begin making changes. My goal is to help you feel more confident, grounded, and in control of your life and eventually trust yourself enough that you don’t need therapy to do it.

As a neurodivergent Black woman living with a chronic illness and mother of three adult children, two of whom identify with the LGBTQ+ commmunity, I am always interested in the deeper question people carry about their lives. Many of the individuals I work with are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years showing up for others, meeting expectations, and doing what seemed like the responsible thing to do. At some point, though, many begin to notice a quiet sense that something no longer fits. My work centers around helping people slow down enough to understand what is actually happening beneath that feeling. Together we look at the patterns, experiences, and internal narratives that shape how you see yourself and the choices available to you. From that place, people often begin to rediscover a clearer sense of who they are and what direction their lives might take moving forward. I am especially drawn to working with adults navigating identity shifts, relationship transitions, and moments in life where the path forward is no longer obvious.
