July 15, 2026: Ashley is accepting new clients for telehealth only.

There may be a future option to move to in person sessions in the Somerville/Cambridge area.

Wednesdays telehealth only

Lasting growth and change are possible when we have the space to be understood, supported, and seen. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore your experiences, reconnect with what matters most, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with who you are.

I work with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, personality-related challenges, and major life transitions. My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They want to better understand themselves, make sense of their experiences, and explore how the past continues to shape the present as they work toward greater clarity, connection, and alignment with their values.

My integrative, trauma-focused approach is grounded in person-centered, existential, and psychodynamic therapies and incorporates evidence-based tools from ACT, DBT, CBT, and mindfulness practices. Understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative and tailored to each person's unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

I offer a space where you can explore difficult experiences without judgment, develop greater self-understanding, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others. If you are looking for a therapist who values authentic connection and collaboration, I would be honored to work with you.
