Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. I received my master's from the University of Tennessee along with a certificate for The Treatment of Trauma. I have been practicing for 8 years. I help people of all ages identify their triggers, process their trauma, and learn healthy coping skills and boundaries and how to improve relationships and self-care.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and reviewing session and service expectations, then dive into the specific challenges you're currently facing. This will help you and I to create a tailored treatment plan with specific goals for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My empathy and ability to help each client feel seen, heard and validated. I aim to create a safe space for healthy and open communication free of judgement, where my clients will always feel accepted and understood.
I work with a wide range of clients. I currently work with children, young adults, veterans, couples, families, single parents, and adults. All of my clients have some history of trauma.

I chose Ashley after looking at numerous profiles. I felt like Ashley would be a great fit for me and I was right. Very pleased with our first session and looking forward to continuing therapy with her.
