Therapist

I work with men navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and career pressure. My approach is direct and practical — we identify what's keeping you stuck, build strategies that hold up outside the therapy room, and move. I draw on CBT, ACT, and the Gottman Method, and bring 10+ years of experience in mental health. My background includes a dual master's in Clinical Social Work and Outdoor Education. Therapy that's grounded and built for real life.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Ashley, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes that therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. I work with adults who are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, overwhelm, and the process of understanding themselves more deeply.

I have a particular interest in working with women, neurodivergent adults, parents of neurodivergent children, and people recovering from difficult or emotionally unhealthy relationships. Many of the clients I work with have spent a lot of time taking care of everyone else and are ready to reconnect with their own needs, boundaries, identity, and sense of self.

My background in marriage and family therapy means I naturally look at the relationships and systems around you while also making space for your individual experience. I’m warm, curious, open-minded, and genuinely interested in understanding what makes you you. You don't have to have everything figured out before you come to therapy.

I’ve been practicing therapy for 25 years, which has included 12 years in NC and prior practice in both Kansas and New Mexico. I’ve worked in community mental health most of my career so I’ve had the opportunity to serve all ages and provide treatment for a huge variety of mental health concerns. I’m pretty down to Earth, open, honest, and genuine. I can be direct when needed to help bring awareness or light to a potential problem area while at the same time me providing support and encouragement. I enjoy hearing people’s life stories and helping individuals navigate their way through difficult life situations and problematic symptoms. No judgment, just a person available to help you find what you need.

Therapist

I bring over 11 years of behavioral health leadership experience, including senior clinical executive roles overseeing adolescent and family treatment programs, alongside my work as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I’m dually licensed in California and North Carolina, a BBS-Approved Clinical Supervisor, and an adjunct professor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I help train the next generation of clinicians.

My clinical approach is grounded in Family Consciousness, a framework I developed through my doctoral research to help individuals and families deepen closeness, heal relational wounds, and reconnect with their sense of purpose and identity. I work with individuals and families navigating life transitions, relationship strain, identity development, and the search for greater self-understanding and connection.

I believe therapy works best as a collaborative, honest, and deeply human process. Whether you’re working through a specific challenge or simply want to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to walk alongside you with clinical expertise and genuine care.

I am offering immediate appointment slots and flexible rates during this difficult time. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression due to COVID-19? Do you feel uncertain about how to move forward during this difficult time? You may feel trapped or hopeless, but I can help you with proven coping skills and by working with you to create a new perspective. My life experience provides a solid foundation upon which I have built my techniques and interventions. In addition to my work with adults, I have experience with teens and young adults, and enjoy connecting with them and helping them navigate life and family challenges.

I spent 25 years in corporate America before earning my master's degree in professional counseling. This experience has given me insight into the stresses in the workplace. Having been a long time sufferer of anxiety, I can empathize with the weight of this emotion while also sharing techniques that have helped me live a better, more enjoyable life.

We are living in uncertain times and COVID fatigue has made daily life even more difficult to manage. It can feel overwhelming, but I will work with you to re-train your brain so that your automatic thought patterns are encouraging instead of fearful.
