Hi, I’m Ashley (she/her).
I’m a licensed psychotherapist practicing online therapy in Massachusetts, Maine, Virginia and Florida. I’ve worked in sexual and reproductive health for 17 years, and I believe that pleasure goes beyond feeling good during sex.
Pleasure is a way of reconnecting deeply with yourself and others, and has the power to heal.
I’m a clinical sexologist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, clinical hypnotherapist, and feminist activist. I’m co-founder of The Wellness Institute for Sexual Embodiment (WISE) where I facilitate retreats for sexual empowerment.
I’m sex-positive, and passionate about empathy and connection.
Let me help you get unstuck.

When Sex Doesn't Feel Good
Most folks learn about sex from the media and porn. Neither shows what real sex looks like. Through education, empowerment, and self-discovery, you can uncover the sex you’ve always wanted.

Client Testimonials
“I started working with Ashley at a very vulnerable time in my life. She became my rock! She stood up for me when I didn’t know how to. She helped me work though past traumas, helped me learn boundaries, taught me how to better communicate with my partner and so much more. She is a great listener and provides great advice and perspective. I highly recommend working with her if you need to learn how to be a better champion for yourself or if you just need a great listener in your corner... Ashley helped me to become a better person and partner and for that I am forever grateful.”
“Ashley was the first person that I ever told about my abortion. I never regretted it, but it still hurt that I had to keep it a secret. She helped me to see that abortion is normal and I don’t need to be ashamed. ”
“You [Ashley] helped me and my husband fix our problems in the bedroom. I had no idea what sex therapy would be like but it was actually fun and I learned so much. Thank you!”
