I have over 26 years of clinical experience working with diverse classifications of diagnoses, ethnicity, ages, and cultural backgrounds. The most frequent symptoms I can help with are managing ADHD, Depression, Bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, parenting, burnout, insomnia, COVID trauma, grief, and anger. I utilize a mix of CBT and motivational interviewing low key with a fair amount of optimism because CBT helps measure things and motivational interviewing is more people-friendly. My research interests are managing grief as result of pregnancy or child loss and counseling victims of gaslighting and narcissistic relationships. I constantly explore new treatment approaches and client experiences. I am an experienced LPC-S licensed by the LA licensed Professional Counselors Board of Examiners 3997. I am also a board approved supervisor in Louisiana. I am a LCMHC in the state of North Carolina (LPC) 19111. Seeking therapy can feel frightening, but you're making the right choice to not go it alone. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups, habits, trauma, symptoms, and/or experiences holding you back. Let's get started!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
An initial session is an intake session where I utilize clinical interviewing skills to complete a behavioral health assessment. We will discuss current symptoms, presenting problems, psychiatric history, childhood history, educational challenges, review any medical conditions you have been diagnosed with, list medications you are currently taking, identify safety concerns, mental status exam. If you have completed the intake forms already, we will review that information in addition with other clinical information I need to include.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My strengths are a combination of 25 years of mental health counseling, treating clients with kindness always, and remaining solution focused.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I can help clients achieve their mental health goals. However, I am best positioned to assist those who are motivated and ready for the growth and motivated for their unique counseling experience.
Christian Counseling
I am a Christian. Although my professional ethics codes states I cannot use my faith as personal bias, I utilize my own Christian values in the way I treat others.

Ashley never showed up to my appointment and this was the first appointment I've ever had with a therapist. It took a lot for me to even book with someone. I understand things happen but she never reached out to me even though I reached out to her.

Although it’s really too soon to give a full assessment or evaluation of my first session with Ashley, I will say that she’s an excellent listener never interrupted me and assured me that next session she would redirect me if I got off on a wild goose chase I guess you’d say ! She’s a very sweet and kind person and I look forward to our next session
