Journey to Inner Peace

Are you ready to go from golden retriever energy to black cat energy?

Golden retrievers are known for being people-pleasers, constantly seeking validation and offering blind loyalty. But what if you could shift to embody the self-sufficient, confident energy of a black cat? Together, we will focus on helping you build intuitive self-trust, healthy boundaries, and the ability to sit with yourself without seeking approval from others. It’s about empowering you to validate your own worth, trust your judgment, and embrace your true, unapologetic self.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a collaborative space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and may include talk therapy, somatic tools like breathwork or body awareness, or creative approaches such as tarot, astrology, or nature-based practices.

Intensive therapy sessions offer a focused and flexible alternative to weekly appointments—perfect for those with busy schedules, demanding careers, or frequent travel. These extended sessions (two or four hours) are designed to dive deeper into your healing process in a concentrated timeframe, allowing for meaningful progress without the pressure of a weekly commitment.

Tarot is a reflective tool that helps clients explore unconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and inner conflicts. In therapy, it’s used not for prediction, but as a mirror that reveals deeper layers of the self.

Astropsychology combines astrology with psychological insight, using a natal chart to explore core personality traits, relationship patterns, and life themes. Rather than offering fixed predictions, this approach encourages reflection and self-awareness.

Chakra Balancing is an energy-based practice that helps identify and release blocks affecting emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Through breathwork, visualization, and mindful movement, clients restore flow to energy centers tied to key areas like safety, expression, and intuition.

Shadow work helps clients explore the parts of themselves they’ve hidden or rejected—often shaped by early trauma or messages of shame. By gently bringing these aspects into awareness, clients begin to understand the roots of their pain and reduce self-judgment.

Symbolic rituals are simple but powerful practices that help clients ground, reflect, and honor their inner experiences. These may include opening and closing routines, sensory cues, or meaningful gestures that support emotional regulation and intention.

Nature Somatics blends somatic therapy with connection to the natural world. By tuning into the body while walking outdoors, interacting with animals, or noticing shifts in sensation and breath, clients regulate their nervous systems and reconnect with a sense of presence.

About Me

"True healing happens when we address the emotional"

My approach is warm, holistic and grounded in the belief that true healing happens when we address the emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of life. Together we'll work to rewire unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen your sense of self and develop the tools you need to set boundaries, trust your intuition and show up in the world as your authentic self. You don't have to stay stuck in cycles of self-doubt or people-pleasing—healing is possible, and I’m here to walk beside you as you reclaim your voice and inner peace. In addition to traditional therapeutic methods, I offer complementary approaches such as tarot, astropsychology, chakra balancing, shadow work, and symbolic rituals to support your unique healing journey.

These tools allow us to access deeper insight, connect with intuitive knowing, and explore patterns that may be difficult to uncover through talk therapy alone. Whether we’re using tarot to explore unconscious beliefs, your natal chart to illuminate life themes, or energy work to release stored tension, each session is tailored to honor your personal story and inner wisdom. With compassion and curiosity, we’ll uncover what’s been holding you back and create space for clarity, connection, and lasting transformation.

Don’t just take my word for it

I was impressed by Ashley Thomas. She was able to immediately understand things I am struggling with, prioritize what we worked on during the first session and I came away from the session with tools to start trying to help me with anxiety. We discussed a path forward that makes sense and I am very pleased with Ashley and her assistance.
