Therapists in 85003
Welcome! I specialize in family/relationship dynamics, LGBTQIA+ experiences, substance abuse disorders, everyday life transitions, and varying mental health concerns such as OCD, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Not only do I pull from my clinical training in these topics, but also from my lived experiences and how they have affected not only me, but my relationships and family. These include being queer, a parent, a transplant from the midwest, and experiencing childhood trauma. I use my clinical expertise and lived experiences to create judgment free and individualized mental health care, which is at the core of how I practice.

Do painful, distressing memories from your past keep you from having the life you want? I've helped many people make peace with their very worst memories, allowing them to build lives, love, and futures that had been out of reach before. Together we can help you take back control. Do you struggle with sexual behaviors that you can't control, or with guilt or shame about your behaviors or desires? I also have excellent experience helping clients with out-of-control or maladaptive sexual behaviors, what others often call "sex addiction".

My approach to counseling builds on existing strengths and situates you, the client, as the expert on your own life. I believe that relationships with self, others, and our broader communities are foundational to wellbeing, and encourage exploration of these areas through a trauma-informed, culturally attuned lens. I take a compassionate approach to existing dynamics and coping methods and work alongside you to bring patterns and the emotions that underlie them into conscious awareness. I am affirming of all people, including multicultural, neuroexpansive, LGBTQ+, and polyamorous people and relationships.

Struggling with RSD? Anxiety? Overstimulation? Procrastination? Depression? Motivation? Need a body double so you can get things done? Being an adult is tough and I still catch myself looking for the "adultiest" adult in the room, only to find it's me! Let's talk about it and figure out a plan together. Your therapist should respect your autonomy, ask questions instead of making assumptions, and challenge you to look deeper and make connections. Let's build up your self-esteem, help you feel better in social situations, minimize your anxiety, learn how to communicate and set boundaries, deal with past trauma, or just enjoy life!

Hello, fellow human! I’m Ashley (she/her), Welcome! I’m not your average, buttoned-up therapist who’s going to sit there with a clipboard, nodding politely while you pour out your soul. No, no—I'm the one who'll listen intently, ask questions that make you think, and maybe throw in a totally random, weird analogy just to keep things interesting. I believe that therapy doesn't have to be all seriousness and no smiles. While I take your journey seriously, I also understand the importance of laughter, lightness, and a bit of fun along the way.

Let’s be real, life can feel like an absolute beating sometimes. If you’re reading this, I’m guessing this is one of your “sometimes.” Stress, depression, emptiness, anxiety, and self-judgment are constantly knocking at our door. It’s the worst, but the good news is it doesn’t have to stay that way. By request, I provide Christian faith-based counseling adopting a Christian worldview incorporating biblical principles within an evidence-based practice.

I've always been taught that the therapeutic relationship is the most important element in a client's success. And it's proven to be true. I believe that the therapist-client relationship works best when the client feels comfortable with the therapist and is able to be honest about their needs. Therefore, I try to make the therapy space feel comfortable and judgement free. As you and I build the therapeutic relationship, I listen to your needs to provide you the best care possible. Let's work as a team to help you learn to thrive.
