Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and we struggle to catch our breath. Tough days can leave us feeling inadequate or powerless! Whether it's you or your loved one struggling to adjust, I am here to help you flourish and thrive, not just exist. Congratulations on your decision to start making positive changes in your life through the assistance of counseling. Hi, I'm Ashley! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who is based in the beautiful Florida Gulf Coast Panhandle. Finding the "right" counselor is important, so I'd love to share a little bit about myself. I am a wife of 20 years, the proud mom of two kiddos, and a human mom to a precious labrador retriever. My happy place is definitely at the beach looking for shells or enjoying the waves from my beach chair!

I have helped many individuals, children, and families build on their own personal strengths to overcome life challenges and obstacles to find joy, contentment, and more fulfilling, healthy relationships.

I specialize in working with high-functioning adults, teenagers, and children experiencing life challenges and life transitions such as self-esteem, confidence building, anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, parenting, moving, military family life challenges, caregivers, health/medical challenges, educational/college/career, women's issues. Together, let's find your inner strengths and build healthy relationships! My therapeutic modalities are eclectic given the particular situation. I am trained in EMDR as well as Cognitive Behavior Therapy with a strength-based, client-centered approach. The empathy, attunement and understanding I have for my clients, helps me to create a bond of trust and respect within the therapeutic environment.
