Do you find yourself struggling in important relationships? Are you stuck in unwanted push-and-pull patterns with your partner or closest friends? Relationships are central to life, yet they can feel painful and confusing. Attachment strategies influence how we see ourselves and others and can impact most areas of life. The paradox of attachment trauma is that relational wounds create a profound longing for connection, but intimacy feels perplexing and risky. It is hard to think and act optimally when one’s intrinsic desires for belonging, safety, and love are unmet.

Are you struggling with unwanted thoughts about the past or scary things that could happen in the future? When having distressing thoughts, life can feel out of control. We may try to cope by avoiding situations that we once enjoyed. We may engage in compulsive behaviors that cause temporary relief but keep our thoughts and behaviors looping. Our relationships may also be impacted as we push people away or try to convince others of our worth. Through therapy, you can build security within yourself and in your relationships by facing your fears and responding in healthier ways that align with your goals and values.

It feels like anxiety has a hold on your life. You wake up in the middle of the night overwhelmed by all of your responsibilities. You’re not able to give all of yourself to your personal relationships. The people who once felt close to you now feel distant. You often feel like a fraud, and consistently discredit yourself and your experiences. You also worry that others might discover that you’re a “fraud.” You’re reluctant to go after new opportunities (promotions, etc.) because you don’t feel like you deserve them. You’ve decided it’s time to change this.

My goal is to help everyone I work with find this path and walk with them as they journey through the many challenges of their lives.

Hi! I’m Ashley Sears, a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a passion for supporting individuals with complex developmental trauma. Trauma can hold us hostage to our past and I hope to provide a pathway to freedom in healing. Additionally, I believe strongly in helping both intimate and family relationships as these connections are often an anchor in life. Relationships don’t come with an instruction manual and can easily get thrown into chaos due to everyday life events. Thankfully, seeking support is the first step towards a new beginning.

Since I was young mental health was always a topic in my home, so becoming a 3rd generation therapist was not surprising to those around me. When I realized prioritizing self-care, setting boundaries, & naming feelings were not normal dinner table topics, I wanted to change that. I am passionate about destigmatizing mental health and making tools more accessible. My goal is to empower my clients to use their innate gifts and strengths to conquer anything that comes their way. Taking the first step is brave, but continuing to show up and work towards your goals is courageous.

We all begin life while connected to another; protected, sustained and seemingly safe. As we wend our way through life we naturally crave such deep connection with others. Without it, we may feel that we are alone and adrift. However, we all experience life in unique ways, even within the same family. Our quest for acceptance, connection and our ability to risk showing our authentic self to others may be impacted to varying degrees by those childhood experiences that shape our unique view of the world, our communication styles, or even our own perception of ourselves.

We all have moments in life where the weight of our struggles feels too much to handle. If you are reading this, you have likely felt the exhaustion and heartache life can bring.

Together, we will go on a journey of self-exploration where we identify and examine the hurts that have led you to where you are today. It is in this work together that true healing and peace can be found.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), if I can change my thinking it can change my feelings which will change my behaviors. I look at the counseling relationship as a collaboration between the individual and counselor with the person being the expert of their own lives. Success is about progress and not perfection and I believe everyone has it in themselves to meet their goals. I work with individuals, families, and couples primarily adults 18 plus.
