Hi, I’m Ashley, a licensed mental health counselor who works with overwhelmed parents navigating anxiety, burnout, and the emotional weight of raising young children. Many of the parents I work with feel like their nervous system is constantly “on.” By the end of the day, you might feel overstimulated by noise, exhausted from being needed all day, and mentally drained from carrying the invisible load of parenting, work, and relationships. You may even find yourself wondering, “What happened to me?” You’re not broken—and you’re not alone in this. Therapy with me is a space to slow things down and finally exhale. Together, we focus on practical, realistic tools to help you: -Feel calmer and less reactive throughout the day -Manage overwhelm without shutting down or snapping -Create more balance between caring for others and caring for yourself -Reconnect with who you are outside of being “mom or dad” I often support parents who are experiencing: -Anxiety and constant mental load -Parenting burnout and overwhelm -Feeling overstimulated or “touched out” -Life and identity shifts after having children -Emotional regulation challenges My approach blends evidence-based strategies like DBT skills with nervous system regulation and practical tools you can actually use in your real, everyday life. As a parent myself, I understand how intense this season can be. You don’t have to keep pushing through it alone.
In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in and what feels most urgent. You won’t be judged. You won’t be rushed. And you don’t have to have it all figured out. Therapy is collaborative, and we move at your pace. My goal in the first session is never to overwhelm you-it's to help you feel safe, understood, and clear about your next steps. Many clients leave feeling lighter, more organized, and surprised by how comfortable it felt.
Clients consistently describe me as easy to talk to and deeply grounded. I help people feel safe enough to open up without pressure or shame.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or pulled in too many directions? Whether you’re a mom or dad in your 30s or 60s navigating big life changes, or an adult facing anxiety, stress, or relationship challenges, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I help clients find calm, clarity, and confidence again—especially when life feels loud, unpredictable, or emotionally draining.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I received certification in DBT and I utilize skills building in sessions to help clients leave sessions with something practical they can use while outside of therapy to manage symptoms.
Mind-body approach
I am a firm believer in the mind and body connection. I incorporate discussions on physical health, which may be impacting one's mental health without even knowing it.
Eclectic
I don't believe therapy is a one-size-fits-all. I utilize different modalities depending on the client.
