I Know I Am a Stranger with a Notebook

    I know I might just seem like a stranger with a notebook. And maybe you're still wondering if therapy is really for you. You might be thinking, “Do I actually need therapy, or am I just overreacting?” Maybe your life looks “okay” from the outside, but inside, something feels off, heavy, unsettled, or hard to explain. Perhaps your thoughts won’t slow down, your past keeps resurfacing, or your relationships feel stuck in the same old patterns. You are not broken and you don’t have to be in crisis to reach out.

    As a licensed therapist in Los Angeles, I provide trauma therapy, anxiety treatment, ADHD support, and relationship counseling to individuals across California and Florida. Many of my clients don’t start therapy because things have fallen apart but because they are ready for something more: more clarity, more peace, more purpose.

    Therapy is not just for the moments when everything breaks down. It is for when you feel lost in the quiet. When you are curious about your patterns. When you are tired of going through the motions. You deserve a space where you can talk honestly, think freely, and feel deeply without judgment.

    My job is not to fix you. You already carry strength and insight inside you. Together, we will uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, give language to what feels unspoken, and help you move toward a life that actually feels like yours. Whether you are healing from trauma, managing anxiety, navigating ADHD, or working through relationship issues, therapy offers more than a solution; it offers space to reconnect with yourself.

    And if talking to a stranger with a notebook still sounds odd, consider this instead: you are choosing someone trained to hear your story, see your patterns, and help you untangle the knots. Someone on the outside who can hold up a mirror and offer space for deep honesty and growth.

    If you have made it this far, you have already taken a courageous step. The rest is just a conversation. Schedule a session today.

    Hi, I am Ashley, and I can help.

    As a first-generation American and former competitive athlete, I know what it is like to face high expectations, push through challenges, and navigate uncertainty. I have been there and I understand what it feels like when life is overwhelming or you are stuck in the same patterns. I specialize in trauma therapy, anxiety therapy, ADHD support, relationship counseling, and life transitions. Using evidence-based practices combined with mindfulness, I give clients practical tools to manage symptoms, build resilience, and live life on their terms. I work with clients in Los Angeles, throughout California, Florida, and internationally, creating a professional, supportive space where you feel understood, empowered, and ready to take control of your life.
