I’ve tried therapy in the past, and gave up on it to be honest, but Ashley has really helped me through my anxiety. She listens, remembers what we discussed, gives me a different approach at looking at things. And super helpful. Very well trained and it is helping me. This is real therapy with real value. I look forward to all my sessions.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, burned out, or simply having a hard time adjusting to life’s changes. My goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can slow down, feel heard, and work through what’s weighing on you. Together, we can focus on practical coping skills, healthier boundaries, greater confidence, and creating more balance in your everyday life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
