My name is Ashley and I have been a therapist for 11 years now. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my pets. Therapy has a lot to do with the bond between the therapist and the client. Change really can happen if the relationship is there. Most treatment methods can be fairly applicable if you develop that relationship. If you have found that to be a struggle in the past you may of had a bad connection with your therapist.

Kudos to you for recognizing the need to focus on your overall well-being including your mental health. At the beginning of therapy many individuals often feel overwhelmed with various emotions, especially talking to a stranger about their concerns.
I seek to make my clients feel welcomed and heard by working with them to identify past and present life events and the impact they have on their interactions internally and externally. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
Counseling sets the stage for self-awareness, healing, grieving, feeling empowered which can lead to change and growth. What you allow will continue, and change is a personal choice. If you’re ready to challenge yourself and create the life you want, I look forward to working with you.

Holyoke, MA - Accepting clients in NC
I bring something to individual and couples therapy that is rare today and not from a text book, that is lived experience. In drawing from different evidence based schools of thought in combination with my lived experiences we will employ such modalities of therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve.

Charleston, SC - Accepting clients in NC
I help Christian women unravel the confusion of emotionally and spiritually abusive marriages-whether you're still unsure, just beginning to question, or already walking away. There's space here for your story, your faith, and your healing.
You don’t need another professional voice telling you how to heal. You need someone who knows—someone who has walked through the fire, crawled through the ashes, and fought to reclaim her own life. That’s why I’m here.
I don’t offer band-aid solutions or quick fixes. I offer truth, courage, and a way forward. I will sit with you in the mess, wade through the lies that have kept you stuck, and help you rebuild what was stolen. If you’re exhausted from carrying the weight of expectations, fear, and silent suffering—I see you. And I’m not afraid to go with you where others have refused to go.
You’re not just getting counseling—you’re getting a lifeline. A mirror to see yourself clearly again. A way out when everything in you says you’re stuck forever. Because you’ve been told you have to stay. That this is your burden to bear. That suffering in silence is somehow holy.
But it’s not.
And I know that agony—the cherished tears that come from realizing everything you fought for is crushing you instead of saving you. The grief of knowing you lost yourself somewhere along the way.
But hear me: You are not too far gone.
This space? It was made for you. A place where the raw, the sacred, the unspoken are all welcome. Where you can breathe again. Where you can break apart and break free.
You don’t have to stay in the darkness. You were meant for so much more.
If you’re ready to dig yourself out, let’s begin.
