Then you’re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Ashley.
You don’t have to keep earning your place in your relationships.
I work with anxious LGBTQ+ adults who are exhausted from managing everyone else’s reactions. In our work together, we explore the deeper patterns that taught you staying agreeable was safer than being honest — and help your nervous system learn that disagreement doesn’t equal danger.
This isn’t about becoming confrontational. It’s about becoming steady.
My Specialties
LGBTQ+ Relational Anxiety
Anxiety in relationships can look like overanalyzing texts, bracing for conflict, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s comfort. Together, we’ll untangle the fear underneath your connections so you can feel secure without shrinking who you are
People-Pleasing & Boundary Struggles
You’ve gotten really good at keeping the peace — even when it costs you. We’ll work through the fear of disappointing others and build boundaries that let you stay connected without abandoning yourself.
Relational Trauma & Attachment Wounds
If closeness feels activating, overwhelming, or unsafe, there’s usually a deeper story driving that response. Using trauma-informed, nervous-system-based therapy, we’ll help your body experience connection as steadier and safer.
YOU’RE HERE BECAUSE
From the outside, it might look like you’re keeping it together — but inside, you’re constantly scanning. Anticipating. Bracing for someone to be disappointed.
Anxiety has a way of convincing you that peace depends on staying agreeable.
But living this way is exhausting.
Therapy can be the place you finally stop performing and start building something steadier — boundaries that don’t cost you connection, and confidence that doesn’t collapse under pressure.
You’re tired of feeling responsible for everyone else’s comfort.
You’ve been bracing for other people’s reactions for a long time.
No wonder your body feels tense. No wonder your thoughts won’t slow down. No wonder rest feels unfamiliar.
Here, you don’t have to perform.
Together, we’ll slow things down enough to understand what’s actually driving the anxiety — not just manage it, but untangle it.
We’ll work with both your mind and your nervous system so that setting boundaries doesn’t feel catastrophic — and disappointing someone doesn’t feel like losing everything.
This isn’t about becoming confrontational.
It’s about becoming steady.
Steady enough to tolerate discomfort.
Steady enough to trust yourself.
Steady enough to stay connected without abandoning who you are.
The Process
Understanding What’s Driving the Anxiety. We’ll begin with a focused conversation about how anxiety shows up in your relationships — overthinking, people-pleasing, fear of conflict, or difficulty setting boundaries.
Rather than jumping straight to coping skills, we’ll identify the underlying patterns and experiences that shaped these responses. Understanding the “why” creates the foundation for meaningful change.
01
Working With Both Mind and Nervous System. Once we understand the pattern, we’ll use approaches that support lasting change — including CBT, Brainspotting, parts work, and somatic techniques.
We’ll address both thought patterns and physiological stress responses so that boundaries feel safer, conflict feels manageable, and your body no longer reacts as if connection is at risk.
02
Practicing Change in Real Life. As therapy progresses, you’ll begin applying what we’re working on in your actual relationships — setting boundaries, tolerating discomfort, and staying present without abandoning yourself.
Change doesn’t happen by forcing it. It happens by building steadiness you can rely on outside the therapy room.
03
If this approach feels aligned, we can begin with a consultation.
You can choose yourself — and still stay connected.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ adults who are navigating anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, identity exploration, relationship stress, and the impact of living in environments that haven’t always felt safe or affirming.
Our work together is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that every part of you is welcome here.
-
Yes. Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns.
Many of my clients appreciate the comfort and privacy of meeting from home — especially when we’re doing deeper nervous system work like Brainspotting or parts work.
You don’t have to drive across town to get meaningful support.
-
Many of the people I work with have been told to “just set better boundaries” or given coping skills that didn’t address the deeper patterns underneath.
In our work, we go beyond surface-level advice. We explore what’s driving the anxiety, why disappointing someone feels so high-stakes, and how your nervous system learned to brace in the first place.
This isn’t about forcing change — it’s about creating safety first.

I am currently transitioning to a private-pay model so I can provide more personalized, holistic care. My fee is $120 per session, with plans to adjust over time.
If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement. I’m happy to answer questions about how that works during a consultation.
