Welcome! I’m Ashley, and I’m passionate about supporting clients on their journey toward healing and growth. I have over nine years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I specialize in trauma-informed care as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My background includes a Master’s in School Counseling where I gained internship experience in both elementary and high school settings. I support individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, trauma, grief/loss, and women’s issues. While I have worked with clients of all backgrounds, I do also offer Christian counseling, if requested, for those who wish to incorporate faith into the therapeutic process.
Hi there! Welcome to the personalized therapy services that you've been searching for. My name is Anah and I am a dedicated licensed clinical social worker. This means that my educational background has inspired me to provide services that address the overall wellbeing of clients including biological, social, mental, systemic, and spiritual factors contributing to a client's circumstances. I specialize in working with women of various ages. Navigating womanhood, as early as teen years, can feel overwhelming at times. Between academics, relationships, family pressures, identity development and life transitions, it’s easy to feel misunderstood, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. As a fully licensed clinical social worker, my goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and empowering space where women can feel safe being themselves while learning healthy ways to cope, grow, and heal through the integration of evidenced based therapy and practical faith-based biblical principles that holistically address mind, body, and spirit. Together, we will work to build confidence, improve emotional well-being, process complex trauma, manage stress, and strengthen relationships. I believe therapy is a partnership with clients where we get a chance to explore strengths, skills, and resources as a team to thrive, not just survive mental health challenges.
I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be your authentic self without judgment. As the Founder and Lead Therapist of Healing Holistically, I take pride in creating a warm, compassionate environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe in treating the person as a whole by recognizing the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. I’m here to meet you where you are, help you navigate life’s challenges, and support you in becoming the healthiest and most fulfilled version of yourself.
I’m a licensed therapist who specializes in working with anxious overthinkers, people-pleasers, perfectionists, and caregivers who are exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who look “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or emotionally drained on the inside.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a school counselor, which deeply shaped how I approach mental health, relationships, and family systems. I also bring lived experience as a parent into my work, especially when supporting clients who are navigating stress, burnout, and the emotional demands of raising children.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist who believes that meaningful change begins with understanding yourself, recognizing your strengths, and discovering the tools needed to move forward. I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing a variety of challenges, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), substance use disorders, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and life transitions. I understand that reaching out for help can be difficult, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, respected, and understood.
Feeling trapped by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or procrastination? I help you gain calm and control with practical, evidence-based CBT and ERP -informed tools. I help adults with anxiety and OCD intrusive thoughts, reduce chronic overthinking, and feel steady again in their daily life and relationships. My approach integrates ERP and CBT for practical symptom relief with deeper attachment and parts-based work to address long-standing relational patterns, self-criticism, and codependency. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and paced to your individual path.
Many functioning adults struggle with anxiety, OCD, or procrastination that persists even when they understand what’s happening.
These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower —
They may be learned responses that can be changed with the right support and tools.
Together, we create tailored plan for transcending patterns that have kept you stuck.
You’ll leave sessions with language for your patterns, tools that work in real time, and a quiet confidence you didn’t think was possible.
I specialize in:
- OCD and intrusive thought spirals
- Anxiety that shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, or constant second-guessing, emotional eating
- Codependent relationship dynamics
- Navigating old-school family dynamics without shrinking yourself
People tell me they value my sincerity, warmth, and ability to make them feel truly seen — while also being gently challenged to grow.
If you’re ready to stop spinning and start shifting, schedule a session with me today.
