Can see clients in states:

Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m a social worker-in-training and an aspiring sex therapist. Before starting this path, I worked as a teacher for ten years in inclusive classrooms, supporting students with all kinds of needs. That experience taught me patience, flexibility, and the importance of meeting people exactly where they are  -  which is the same approach I bring into the therapy room.

As a new mom, I know firsthand how life transitions can shift our sense of self, our relationships, and our intimacy. I believe sexuality and mental health are deeply connected, and I want to create a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about your desires, boundaries, and relationships without judgment.

In our work together, we’ll figure out what feels right for you  -  whether that’s exploring the deeper roots of your story or focusing on practical strategies to help you through what you’re facing today.My goal is that you leave each session feeling heard, understood, and a little more connected to yourself.
