I help adult individuals who are curious about who they are and how they show up in the world. Your unique story (with all its joy and pain) impacts how you relate to others, respond to stress, and connect to yourself. Together, we will explore who you are in the context of your story and help you find clarity, compassion, and authenticity. My specialties include: anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, eating disorders, and body image concerns. My hope is that our work together helps you get unstuck and moving through life with more ease, self-acceptance, and connection.

Do you feel like no one wants you to talk about your grief? Like they want you to “get over it” or “look on the brightside”? Or maybe you need support but don’t feel like you can burden others with the request? When others don’t know how to talk about or handle our grief, it can be isolating and lonely. The combination of emotions we feel at these times can be downright confusing. I want you to know this feeling won’t last forever. Whether you’re new to grief or feel stuck in it, whether you have lost a loved one or are grieving the loss of an anticipated life, I want to help you on your journey back to you.

Fear, anxiety, shame, depression, excessive guilt, low self-worth... these are some of the emotions and issues my clients struggle with on a daily basis. Sometimes they know the causes, sometimes they don't. Even when they do, it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin to address what sometimes feels like a lifetime of suffering. In my experience, the trauma that controls the narrative around who you are is supercharged with those difficult emotions you've avoided feeling. They feel scary, insurmountable, and can leave you feeling powerless or hopeless. Despite how it feels, you CAN work through this and reclaim your life.

I take a relational approach to the therapeutic process, and believe it is my job to act as a guide, helping clients clear the path toward uncovering their innate ability to heal and grow. Being human is not without its challenges and sometimes traumas. I believe improving connection with others, nervous system regulation, identifying unhelpful patterns, and addressing wounds is a critical step in thriving after these experiences.

Immediate Openings in East Nashville and Downtown Franklin, or Virtual across Tennessee! I believe everyone is born with a True Self — a version of you that feels whole, grounded, and at ease. Over time, life’s challenges can lead us to develop coping strategies that pull us away from that authentic self, often resulting in anxiety, disconnection, or inner conflict. My goal is to help individuals and partners reduce the gap between the life you’re living and the life you long for. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, peace, and reconnection to you.

As a systems-focused narrative therapist, I help my clients explore the personal, relational and societal stories (both useful and problematic) that shape and give meaning to their lives. My collaborative sessions highlight and emphasize clients' strengths and innate ability to "re-write" difficult chapters of their stories so that new pathways to empowered, inspired living can emerge.

Hello! Thanks for taking time to read my profile. I help Disconnected Couples and Restless Entrepreneurs, as well as those stifled by Anxiety and Depression. When I entered this profession, I realized that everyone on the planet needs a safe place to go where they can be completely themselves...and say anything they care to say. At times we need to chat with someone who's not part of our family or friend circles, someone with the training and skills to help us navigate thoughts, emotions, relationships, careers, and matters of faith.

Are you a helper or healer who gives endlessly to others but struggles to prioritize yourself? You show up for everyone else—clients, patients, loved ones, staff, etc.—but feel depleted, anxious, or stuck in the monotony of your routine. The balance you crave feels out of reach, and boundaries, self-care, and time for yourself fall to the bottom of your list. You are deeply compassionate and dedicated to serving others, often at the cost of your own well-being. More than likely, you've poured your energy into your work and relationships, losing yourself in the midst of it all. You need balance, rest, and a life that is fulfilling.

A major thread in Ashley’s work has been care for families. Having worked in volunteer and professional capacities with children and families for more than 17 years and as a mother of three young children, Ashley has found herself with a deep care for helping people find their own healing to stop cycles of toxic stress. When children or teens feel out of control or parents feel overwhelmed, working through issues that require learning how to emotionally regulate (i.e. trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, ADD, or OCD) can lead to healing that improves one’s ability to securely connect in relationships.

I am an AASECT certified Sex Therapist, as well as an individual and marital psychotherapist with over thirty years' experience.

"The Wound is the Place Where the Light Enters You." ~ Rumi~ In one way or another, our souls have been bruised. Depression, anxiety, divorce/relationship issues, trauma, family crisis, & many other issues can slowly chip away at our self-worth, our sense of belonging, our hope. Do you seek a true, raw connection with yourself & others? Are you tired of fighting the "uphill battle" & seek peace in your life? I have no magic wand. I cannot make troubles disappear. I can, however, walk with you & give you the tools to find inner peace & love in the midst of chaos.

Within each of us is an innate desire to be deeply known; to share our story; to be fully seen by another. It is in this vulnerable space where we experience acceptance; belonging; intimate connection. When our lived experiences hold unaddressed narratives of neglect, abuse, abandonment, rigid intolerance or profound loss, the natural longing for connection can become distorted or overridden. What emerges from our understandable aversion to risk and rejection is the imperative to channel all our energy towards managing or keeping hidden the unacceptable parts of ourselves and our story. If this resonates, you are not alone.
