Stop managing everyone else.
Start trusting yourself.
Online therapy for LGBTQIA+ adults in Florida & South Carolina
For the overthinking, people-pleasing, and
"but what if they're mad at me?" bullshit that's keeping you stuck.
You’re stressed, burnt out, and tired of putting yourself last.
You’re doing your best to keep everything working and everyone okay. Somehow, it still never feels like enough.
Maybe you replay conversations wondering if you said the wrong thing. You say yes when you really want to say no. You notice someone’s mood shift and immediately wonder if you did something wrong.
And when you’ve spent years figuring out which parts of yourself feel safe to show, “just set a boundary” isn’t exactly helpful advice. Sometimes disappointing someone feels genuinely fucking uncomfortable.
If you’re ready to…
• Stop overthinking every interaction
• Set a boundary without spiraling afterward
• Stop feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions
• Say no without drowning in guilt
• Show up in relationships without shrinking yourself
Then you’re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Ashley.
You deserve relationships where you don’t have to earn your place.
Maybe you learned somewhere along the way that staying agreeable, being easygoing, or keeping everyone else happy was safer than saying what you actually thought.
And knowing logically that you’re “allowed” to have needs doesn’t necessarily make your body believe it.
That’s where therapy can go deeper than just understanding why you do this shit.
We’ll work on helping you notice the patterns, understand where they came from, and actually practice doing something different. That might mean setting the boundary, letting someone be disappointed, trusting your own read on a situation, or resisting the urge to immediately fix everything when someone seems upset.
You don’t need to become confrontational or stop caring about other people.
You just need to stop abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable.
How I Can Help
You’ve spent enough time figuring out which parts of yourself are safe to show.
Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to shrink, explain, or make yourself easier for other people to understand.
We’ll work toward relationships where there’s room for all of you.
One weird text shouldn’t ruin your entire fucking afternoon.
If you’re replaying conversations, bracing for conflict, or constantly wondering if someone’s upset with you, your brain is working overtime.
We’ll work on quieting the spiral and trusting yourself more.
Keeping the peace shouldn’t require abandoning yourself.
Maybe you’re great at knowing what everyone else needs but considerably less great at asking yourself what you want.
We’ll work on boundaries, guilt, and trusting your own needs without immediately wondering if you’re being an asshole.
Okay Ashley, sounds great. But what does therapy actually look like?
01
We’ll start with a free, brief phone consultation. You can tell me what’s been going on, ask questions, and get a feel for whether I’m someone you actually want to talk to every week.
Individual therapy is $120 per session.
Understand the Patterns
02
We’ll look at what keeps showing up: overthinking, people-pleasing, fear of conflict, difficulty setting boundaries, and what might be underneath it.
Build Something That Lasts
03
The goal isn’t to need therapy forever. It’s to build enough trust in yourself that you can navigate relationships, make decisions, and handle uncomfortable moments without constantly needing someone else to tell you you’re doing it right.
Practice Change in Real Life
04
This is where insight becomes something you can actually use. We’ll practice boundaries, tolerating discomfort, trusting yourself, and staying connected to your needs when shit gets uncomfortable.
You don’t have to overthink this part.
If you’re tired of figuring all of this shit out by yourself, let’s talk.
