I strive to create an environment where you can explore, engage, and rewrite your life-script. We all live from our own unique scripts, the stories we tell ourselves everyday about who we are, where we come from, and what we're capable of. Sometimes these scripts trap us in behaviors and states of mind that harm us and keep us from living a rich life. In counseling, we engage these bad scripts, whether they are anxiety, depression, addiction, relational issues, shame, family issues, or others. My job is to give you the resources to rewrite these bad scripts and live from new, healthy ones. Change is possible. Help is available.

Hi there! I’m Ashley Davis, a licensed marriage and family therapist (or LMFT) in the state of North Carolina. I’m originally from the Triangle, and I love being able to make a positive impact in the community I grew up in through my work with the clients I serve. Being an LMFT, I have a unique approach to therapy, in that I approach therapy first and foremost from a systemic perspective.

On leave until end of February 2024- Are pregnancy and motherhood supposed to feel this way? Why didn't anyone tell you how lost and alone you would feel? Since becoming a mom, you may feel like your partner and yourself are on autopilot and don't connect anymore. By acknowledging that you need some extra support, you can take the first steps to feeling more hopeful about this new adventure. You can work towards trusting yourself and others. You can be present in the moment for child, yourself and your loved ones and not lost in your self-critical thoughts.
