Hi, I’m Ash.
Welcome. Every part of you is honored here.
If you’ve found your way here, something in you is stirring—a quiet call to reconnect with yourself more honestly and deeply. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relational struggles, burnout, spiritual emergence, or a shifting relationship to substances, I offer a space to slow down, listen inward, and explore what’s ready to change.
I bring over a decade of experience in the healing arts. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in filmmaking and the visual arts. That creative lens continues to shape how I hold space—honoring story, symbolism, and the intelligence of the unconscious. I listen for what is said and unsaid, track rhythm and imagery, and trust the unfolding process much like I trust the arc of a film or painting to reveal its form.
I grew up in the cultural melting pot of the American South—a place of complexity, spirituality, beauty, corruption, oppression, contradictions, inspiration, and great possibility for coexistence. My ancestral roots span Europe, Morocco, and the lands of the Nansemond peoples of Virginia. These influences ground my work in a deep reverence for intergenerational healing and the powerful ways ancestral experiences ripple through time, touching us years later in subtle and profound ways.
I’m trained in somatic therapy, transpersonal psychology, couples therapy, yoga, EMDR and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, but I do not work from a single model. I am not a traditional talk therapist—I work from a somatic, “body-up” approach that creates space for the body to speak and the unconscious to be revealed. My work focuses on accessing the deeper, often unconscious layers that shape how we relate to joy, connection, creativity, and our sense of wholeness.
I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Hakomi, trauma-informed yoga, dreamwork, and expressive and creative processes. I’m trained in MDMA-Assisted Therapy through MAPS and am a Certified Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy provider (Telos). I’ve also have training in Holotropic Breathwork from Grof® Legacy Training, two years of Hakomi training (working toward certification), and a trauma-informed yoga. I’m currently completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training with plans to pursue a 500-hour yoga therapy certification. My practice is grounded in 20 years of personal experience with yoga, breathwork, and other embodied healing arts.
I work with individuals and am a licensed couples therapist passionate about supporting both traditional and nontraditional relationships to thrive. Together, we gently uncover the deeper roots the patterns that bring you to therapy —not to label or pathologize, but to kindly meet what has been hidden or exiled with clarity and compassion so these aspects of you can be communicated and integrated. This work isn’t about fixing you; it’s about remembering and reclaiming what has always been within.
Healing happens when we bring curiosity to the parts of us we’ve learned to silence, when we move at the pace of the body, and when we allow mystery, ritual, and nervous system repair to coexist. I especially love supporting creatives, spiritual seekers, healthcare workers, entrepreneurs, and highly sensitive people who are yearning to live in deeper alignment with themselves and their communities, and who are committed to cultivating self-authorship.
I trust in your wholeness, even if you don’t feel it yet. And I’d be honored to walk beside you as you begin to remember the way home to yourself.

To create access, I keep a few spaces open in my practice for low-income clients, and work with those who may need a lower rate to incorporate therapy into their lives. If you feel this is reflective of your current circumstances, please let me know. Please keep in mind that sliding scale rates are only available to those who do not have access to insurance for coverage of services, or the financial means to pay my full session rate. Therefore, I do not provide superbills for insurance reimbursement if you are also receiving a sliding scale rate. I utilize the green bottle sliding scale method for understanding accessibility needs. http://www.wortsandcunning.com/blog/sliding-scale

Not at the moment. I am an "Out of Network" provider for all PPO insurance plans. In some cases, services may be reimbursed in part by your health insurance plan if you have out of network behavioral health coverage. I can provide you with a “superbill' that you can submit to your insurance. It is the clients responsibility to inquire about their benefit coverage.

Please provide 48 hours notice for cancellations or reschedules by phone, text, or email. For less than 48 hours notice, the full self-pay session fee is due. If both of our schedules allow rescheduling in the same calendar week, no fee is due, though this option cannot be guaranteed.
Due to high demand for mental health services, clients who are able to prioritize weekly session attendance will have priority scheduling. Clients are allowed 2 cancellations per 6 month period before losing their weekly appointment time and returning to as available scheduling.

I offer brief therapy for EMDR, which typically last 10-15 sessions.
For other therapy modalities a longer committment typically yields better results, as you learn new ways to relate to your body•mind•spirit.
