As a white, queer, Lesbian therapist, I'm dedicated to working with clients in a way that honors your intersecting identities, your experiences of marginalization, and the ways you have found connection, resilience, and joy.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or in need of support? Do you have past experiences that you want to understand and heal from? Maybe you just need a space for yourself where you can explore and grow? I bring compassion and warmth to our sessions, helping you connect to your own resilience and make sense of your unique story. My framework is intersectional, LGBTQIA affirming, anti-racist, and feminist. I work collaboratively with you to support your growth and help you thrive.

Life gets so stressful, and without a life map or manual, the journey can feel uncertain and scary at times. It can feel like most days you are just surviving instead of living and thriving. During those times we all need a little extra support. I work with adults who have histories of trauma, struggles with depression and/or anxiety, religious trauma, family struggles, autism, and ADHD. I’m also passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ folx, helping them increase their self-love and acceptance, heal from trauma, and fully embrace themselves.

Hi there! My name is Ash Nobles (they/them) and I'd love to walk through therapy with you. Are you wrestling with sexuality, or do you want a therapist who is aware of sexuality’s impact on life? Do you have questions about parts of your childhood you can’t quite remember? With me you can expect someone who is on your side and who will provide a safe space to explore, engage with your story, and find a sense of healing. My history is working in mental illness based settings, engaging trauma stories with neurodivergent young adults, and is as an advocate with teenagers and the LGBTQIA+ community. You don't have to do this alone.

The decision to begin therapy isn't always the easiest, but it can be one of the most important steps you can make to change your life for the better. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with attention-deficit/hyperactivity difficulties, anxiety, are on the Autism spectrum, identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, live alternative lifestyles (kink/cnm), or are adjusting to life changes. If you're motivated to 'dig in' and begin the work, I'd love to help you accomplish your goals. I aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment for insightful change where you feel understood & affirmed.

Taking the first step in finding a therapist can be an overwhelming experience, especially when we are in the thick of motherhood. This is something I am personally aware of, as well as how important it is to find someone that you can be open with and trust. I specialize in working with perinatal mental health which involves anything from postpartum mood disorders, infertility, and the overstimulation that mothers often face. Navigating motherhood can be difficult and lonely at times, just know that you don't have to do this alone.

Here you are, looking for some help-so well done, you! Sometimes part of us wants help and another part wants to "do it on our own". Therefore, it is understandable that it might be no small task to make that first call. AND since sorting thoughts, feelings, and worries can feel overwhelming, I appreciate your courage and wisdom in seeking professional assistance, because no one has to do this alone. Getting to "better" is often very collaborative. Together, we can find a healthy and safe way to discover, sort and map the confusion/worry and then move forward. When you are ready, please give me a call. I am right here.

I focus on trauma initially because what I have found in over 6 years of work as a trauma therapist, is that so much of our present concerns and limitations is rooted in trauma exposure and history. This lends itself to unhealthy patterns of avoidance, hypervigilance/hyperarousal, disturbance in mood and cognitions. and being inundated with intrusions and flashbacks. Many patients that have struggled with years with anxiety and or depressive episodes really have suffered from trauma that has not yet been dealt with. T Fields Trauma Therapy is for you if this describes you!

I feel called to come alongside individuals wounded by painful life experiences (abuse, trauma, attachment injury) as well as individuals navigating life transitions that most, if not all, of us walk through (adulthood, marriage, illness, divorce, death. etc). I consider the healing process to be both sacred and deeply personal, so I work very hard to honor and appreciate the need to "tailor" individual's needs, abilities, and treatment objectives to their healing journey.
