I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering support for families, adolescents and adults. I have practiced in several settings including school, group home, hospital, and outpatient mental health. I specifically worked with adolescent boys with complex trauma and problematic sexual behaviors. I completed my master’s degree in social work from Columbia University in New York.
Emotions can be overwhelming, especially when coupled with difficult memories from your past. Along with poor sleep, brain fog, and no energy, it can seem impossible to cope. Many people struggle with these symptoms whether it’s from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions. Life can be hard and we all need help sometimes. I'm here to help you figure out what works best for you.
I understand that the decision to seek help for mental health needs can be a nerve-racking and scary process. When it comes to patient care, I am most passionate about the preservation of dignity and making my patients feel seen. I meet fear or nervousness with acceptance, encouragement, and knowledge.
I offer counseling that empowers you to navigate life's challenges with resilience and strength. You can access professional support wherever you are, without the need to travel or disrupt your busy schedule.
Most people don't have a relationship, anxiety, confidence, or self-worth problem. They have a pattern problem.
The way you relate to yourself, other people, and the world around you is often influenced by experiences you don't even realize are still affecting you. That's why insight alone isn't always enough to create lasting change.

My work combines psychology, trauma-informed care, attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and mind-body approaches to help clients create healthier relationships, greater confidence, stronger self-trust, and lives that finally feel as good as they look.
I work with adults experiencing relationship concerns, trauma, anxiety, self-esteem issues, communication challenges, life transitions, and the lasting effects of childhood experiences.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with dual certifications in Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Practice, I provide compassionate, holistic care for both mental and physical well-being. With over 18 years of experience, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story.

Hi, I'm Ashley, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Reiki II practitioner. I believe that somewhere underneath the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the patterns that keep repeating, there is a version of you that already knows the way. My job isn't to fix you. It's to create a space steady enough that you can actually hear yourself. Together we get curious about the thoughts that won't quiet down, the emotions that feel bigger than the moment, the behaviors that keep showing up even when you don't want them to, and what all of it is actually trying to tell you. I bring tools into our work that help you understand what's happening in your mind and body when you're overwhelmed, so you can actually do something about it instead of just surviving it. But more than any method or modality, I show up as a real person walking alongside you, trusting that you are the expert on your own life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Bridgeport
Searching for therapists in Bridgeport starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match what you want to work on. Some therapists may note experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family therapy, or trauma-informed care in their profile.
Bridgeport has a local therapist community, but in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Looking beyond nearby offices in areas like Black Rock, Downtown, and the East End can give you more options, and virtual appointments can expand access to licensed therapists across Connecticut. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Bridgeport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare options in one place. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
