Hi, I'm Ashley (she/her).​

About My Approach

Becoming a parent — or even trying to — can be one of the most transformative experiences in life. It can also bring moments of deep grief, uncertainty, and emotional pain that often go unseen. My work is dedicated to supporting individuals through the full spectrum of perinatal experiences: trying to conceive, infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and the many complexities of postpartum life.

​

I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and have been using EMDR for several years to help clients move beyond the effects of trauma, anxiety, and self-doubt. I’ve seen how powerful EMDR can be for those who feel “stuck” after difficult experiences — when talking about it hasn’t brought the relief they hoped for. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and focused on helping clients reconnect with safety, confidence, and self-compassion.

​

Why Perinatal Mental Health Matters to Me

After my own experience becoming a parent, I realized how many people go through these transitions without adequate emotional support. The gap in care for perinatal and postpartum mental health became deeply clear to me. I believe this time deserves specialized, informed attention — and that support is most healing when it comes from someone who truly understands what it’s like to be in that space.

​

This work is both professional and personal for me. My goal is to help others feel seen, validated, and supported through whatever part of the journey they are on — whether that’s navigating grief and loss, recovering from a traumatic birth, or simply adjusting to a new sense of self as "mom."

​

How I Work

In our sessions, we’ll slow things down and focus on what feels most important to you. EMDR allows us to access and process difficult experiences without having to relive them, helping you feel more grounded and free from the emotional weight they carry. Alongside EMDR, I integrate relational, somatic, and mindfulness-based approaches to support whole-person healing.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, direct, and easy to talk to. I strive to create a space where you feel safe being yourself — even the parts that feel messy, uncertain, or heavy.

​

If any of this resonates with you, we may be a good fit. I would love to speak with you and get to know you and your needs better! I am happy to offer any potential clients a free 20-minute phone or video consultation. Please reach out via this form or email to schedule!

​

Ashley's rate is $200/50-minute individual sessions and $225/50-minute couples or family sessions. I also offer Walk & Talk sessions. Please inquire about availability!
