As a Mental Health Advocate, I give speeches all over the nation to reduce stigma around Mental Health and encourage people to seek professional counseling, rather than “just talking to a friend about it or not talk about their problems at all”.

Tired of hearing "get better" and you having to wrestle with wanting to explode because you really wish that You Could ...Just... Get better!" You remind yourself that people mean well and manage a faint smile to reassure them, all the while feeling drained and consumed by all that it takes to just appear "okay." You barely even know how to answer "that" question any more. You're not alone, and you can find relief. Get Better with my guidance and NO more adding medication or surgery. Brief Profound Treatments available as well as moderate/long term treatments. HABLO ESPANOL TAMBIEN (Spanish speaking as well).

Life has a way of presenting challenges that we do not always expect. Such challenges can lead to feelings of anxiety, sadness, and other unpleasant emotions. My goal is to provide you with a warm, empathetic, collaborative, non-judgmental environment that will allow you to feel safe and heard as we navigate life’s challenges; explore practical coping skills; and discover hidden strengths you did not know you had!

People often ask me, "What is the purpose of therapy?" I believe there are a few answers to that question. First, you come to therapy to defrost grief, unexpressed rage and other negative feelings, e.g. traumas, losses, betrayals. You also learn to re-parent yourself. Second, you come to have a better transition in your work or love life, or to improve your performance and personal relations. Finally, you get to share your dreams and goals in a safe environment, with no judgment, and to produce amazing action plans to manifest your best life ever.

The most therapeutic element in psychotherapy is the relationship between us. You invite me into your interior self which is a special, even sacred, place hiring me as a guide during this phase of your life's journey. Ultimately, our goal is to do things better by initiating new ways of being or putting aside some of the old. Therapy is not escape; it is not blame. It is about better facing the challenges of life, helping ourselves find our way through where we now are, and sometimes it's also about finding our way back to ourselves.

Hi, I'm Ashleigh ! I'm honored you took a moment to view my profile. I understand seeking help may present vulnerability but it is also a sign of courage. You took the first step toward healing on your own and I’d love to walk with you for the rest. Has life presented multiple obstacles in achieving goals ? Does navigating life's journey seem difficult ? Do you need help to organize your thoughts, create a plan and take action against stagnation ? I believe difficult roads can lead to beautiful destinations. As your therapist, I will partner in identifying skills that cultivate resilience with patience, empathy and compassion.

You do not have to struggle in silence, healing requires becoming more aware and learning behavior patterns and traits that may no longer serve you. My practice consists of individualized psychotherapy treatment and the journey of being more present and in tune with yourself, your cognitions, your emotions, and your behaviors. Individualized psychotherapy treatment is an opportunity for your growth, healing, and transformation. Take the first step in your growth by taking care of your mental health.

Are you a professional managing a career, dealing with family obligations or perhaps addressing life transitions that are causing you to feel insecure and unmanageable? I get it. There are days you feel like you’ve lost control, can't make decisions or you question your choices especially if you’re feeling overwhelmed. You may even want to give up! And that’s OK. We don’t always have the answers or the energy to do it all. The expectations that others put on us or the ones we put on ourselves, rarely gives us permission to make mistakes. When do you give yourself permission to care of YOU?

Someone might say HOPE is not an Action Plan... But it’s a Start. If you ask me exactly what I do.... I’d say : “I Specialize in putting broken lives back together again.” Are you living the life you want to live right now? Or is stress, anxiety, or grief getting in the way? Are you “in your head” a lot... ruminating about your relationships? work? the future? Are you having trouble getting over the loss of a loved one, job or pet ? If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these, then you are one step closer to your healing. I’d like to help.

Is your life story not quite playing out the way you thought it would? Let me help you!
