Hi, I’m Ash.

Welcome fellow human!

If you have found yourself here, then you are ready for change. Perhaps you desire to feel more deeply rooted in yourself, or you may even be ready to trust in all the unfurling and unknown parts of life itself.

Life can be hard. Every day we are asked to show up fully in the midst of difficulty. Whether we are experiencing relationship issues, struggling with addiction, illness, loneliness, grief, life transitions, old wounds, personal growth, or struggles in our families, we are always trying our best to move through these challenges and return to a state of peace, purpose, and joy.

You don’t have to do it all by yourself! I am here to walk along side you as you find new ways to move forward. It takes courage and tremendous self-love to ask for the support you need. Even if you are struggling with not feeling good enough or accepting parts of yourself, you care enough about YOU to commit to coming home to yourself.

I offer a warm, courageous, and creative space where you can explore your inner world with grounded presence. My approach is holistic, weaving together somatic therapies, trauma-informed care, family systems theory, and neuroscience to support your journey of self-discovery and transformation.

For the past eight years, I’ve helped individuals and relationships cultivate deeper self-awareness and self-compassion, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, expressive arts, and somatic practices. My training includes a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Antioch University, Hakomi, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Ketamine- and MDMA-Assisted Therapy (MAPS), Holotropic Breathwork, and yoga. As a member of the C.G. Jung Society, I integrate dreamwork, archetypes, and shamanic traditions to illuminate unconscious patterns, while neuroscience offers practical tools for shifting what no longer serves you.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in filmmaking and visual arts—creativity remains central to my practice, helping us access intuition, flow, and the unconscious. With over twenty years immersed in meditation, yoga, and esoteric psychology, I see healing as a process of remembering your innate wholeness and reclaiming a deep, embodied sense of aliveness. My ancestral roots—spanning Eastern and Northern Europe, Ireland, the Sephardic Jewish diaspora, and the Nansemond nation of the Tidewater region of Virginia—inform my deep respect for ritual, story, and intergenerational transformation.

I am committed to my own ongoing growth, guided by mentorship, a dedication to ethics, and open dialogue. I receive ongoing supervision with Naropa University’s Uğur Kocataşkın, PhDc, ensuring that my work remains dynamic, ethical, and deeply attuned to those I support.

This is a space where you are seen, supported, and welcomed exactly as you are. My deepest hope is that you come 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.

  • Yes! I offer in-person session in Seattle, Washington in the conveniently located SODO neighborhood.

    My office has plenty of free parking. There is often a therapy dog in session as well.

  • No, I do not offer telehealth therapy at this time.However, I do offer occasional and temporary telehealth sessions when a need arises.

  • Yes, I offer prospective clients a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we are a good fit.

  • 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.
