When What Worked Isn't Working Anymore.

High-achieving women are often very good at figuring things out. You adapt, compensate, find another system, work a little harder, and keep a lot of things moving at once.

Until, sometimes, that stops working.

Maybe your life has changed. Your body has changed. The demands have changed. Or perhaps you're beginning to recognize that some of the strategies you've relied on for years came with a much higher cost than you realized.

You might be here because:

Pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, or another hormonal transition has changed how you feel or function—and you don't quite feel like yourself.
You're wondering whether ADHD or autism might explain parts of your experience, or you already know you're neurodivergent and want to better understand your strengths, needs, relationships, or work environment.
You're carrying a lot of roles—professional, leader, mother, partner, daughter, friend—and increasingly wondering whether the way you're doing all of this is actually sustainable.
Anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, self-doubt, or chronic stress are taking up more space than you want them to, even when much of your life looks successful from the outside.
Work isn't working. You may need different strategies for executive functioning, time management, communication, leadership, boundaries, or navigating an environment that wasn't necessarily designed with you in mind.
You've become disconnected from what you actually want. You know how to meet expectations and accomplish things, but identifying your own values, priorities, or next step feels surprisingly difficult.
Or perhaps life has simply been snowballing, and you need somewhere to slow it down enough to understand what's happening and decide what comes next.

Your mental health deserves a place among the things you make time, space, and resources for—not somewhere at the bottom of the list once everything else is handled.

You don't need to arrive knowing whether therapy, assessment, or coaching is the right place to start. Sometimes the first step is simply figuring out what is happening, what matters now, and what kind of support would actually be useful.

How We Can Work Together

Therapy

Psychotherapy is appropriate when mental health symptoms, emotional distress, relationships, past experiences, or significant life transitions are affecting how you feel or function. Dr. Ashley provides evidence-based, individualized psychological treatment, drawing from established therapeutic approaches while adapting care to each woman's needs, strengths, identities, and circumstances.

Areas of particular expertise include anxiety and depression, ADHD and autism, executive functioning, reproductive and hormonal transitions—including pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause/menopause—and the ways these concerns intersect with relationships, parenting, identity, and professional life.

Unlike coaching, therapy is a healthcare service focused on psychological health and treatment and is provided under Dr. Ashley's professional psychology license.

Psychological Assessment

Psychological assessment is appropriate when you are seeking greater clarity about how you think, process information, regulate attention and emotions, or experience the world—and whether a psychological or neurodevelopmental diagnosis may help explain your experiences.

Dr. Ashley provides comprehensive, individualized psychological assessment with particular expertise in ADHD and autism in adult women, including presentations that may have been overlooked, masked, or attributed to other concerns earlier in life. Assessment may also address cognitive functioning, learning, executive functioning, and diagnostic questions involving anxiety, mood, and other psychological concerns.

Assessment goes beyond determining whether someone meets criteria for a diagnosis. The goal is to develop a useful understanding of strengths, challenges, patterns, and support needs and translate that understanding into practical recommendations for daily life, work, relationships, education, and treatment when appropriate.

Executive & Professional Coaching

Coaching is a collaborative, goal-directed service for professionals who want to work, lead, and make decisions more effectively and sustainably. Rather than providing mental health treatment, coaching focuses on identifying goals, understanding barriers, developing strategies, and translating insight into meaningful changes in how you work and lead.

Dr. Ashley brings psychological and executive-functioning expertise to coaching around leadership and communication, ADHD and neurodivergence at work, time and workload management, career development and transitions, parental leave and return to work, boundaries, and sustainable professional performance. Coaching is individualized to the person, their role, and the environment in which they are operating rather than based on a generic model of how a successful professional “should” function.

Coaching is not psychotherapy or mental health treatment. When psychological symptoms or emotional distress require clinical treatment, therapy may be the more appropriate service—or, in some circumstances, coaching may complement therapy provided by another clinician.

Virtual Psychological Services Across the U.S.

Specialized care shouldn't depend on where you live.

Dr. Ashley provides virtual therapy and psychological assessment across PSYPACT-participating jurisdictions, with additional licensure in Hawaii. This allows women across much of the United States to access specialized psychological services in women's health, neurodiversity, and related mental health concerns—even when that expertise isn't readily available in their local community.

Virtual care also provides flexibility for busy professionals, parents, and others who need psychological services to fit more realistically into their lives. Limited in-person therapy appointments are also available in Edina, Minnesota.

Executive coaching is available nationally and internationally.

Therapy and psychological assessment are currently available in:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
