About Ashanti, We Say Asé

Hii and welcome to my little nook of the internets.

I’m a semi-quirky expressive arts therapist who is trauma-informed and all about feeling feels.

You’re seeking therapy, and I’m a therapist(!), a somatic trauma therapist who works with people in relationships of all kinds: ethical non-monogamous, kink-affirming, monogamous, platonic, and creative partnerships.

Most people who come to me feel stuck or curious about recurring conflict, communication breakdowns, disconnection, or patterns shaped by past hurt. Some are navigating intersecting racial, gender, sexual, and neurodivergent identities. Even when you understand what’s happening, your body and reactions and perceptions may still take over. So I support partners in slowing down, interrupting patterns, understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, communicating needs clearly, and practicing repair, so connection feels more intentional and safe.

In my free time: I’m a binge-reader of sci-fi and fantasy | daydreamer | existential dreader | meta- thinker and meta-feeler. I show up to therapy with authenticity, curiosity, humor, and a little attitude when necessary.
