I am a very caring and compassionate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with men, women, couples, families, and children. My faith plays a large role in the services I provide. My intention is to meet my clients where they are and help them become unstuck or untangled from their current issue or situation. I encourage families to see me, when it is appropriate, as I excel in systems work, that is, all people who have an impact on you and your life. My motivation for working with you is to provide the best help I can with an eye toward alleviating any pain or suffering you may be experiencing.

Life has bumps in the road, and the distress we feel often makes sense within the context of the circumstances we face. My goal, as a licensed marriage and family therapist, is to help individuals, couples, and families identify underlying factors contributing to distress, and to experience healing and peace amid life’s challenges. As a committed Christian, I seek to help clients integrate faith into their healing process if they desire.

Ashley’s passion for counseling centers around a love for the hurting and a desire to be fully present with them following in the way that Jesus was present with those in their time of need. She works with marriage and family issues, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, interpersonal relationship issues, trauma and abuse recovery, especially victims of narcissistic abuse. She enjoys working with people of all ages and from all walks of life.

I provide counseling and consultative services. With the help of my colleague, Mark Shively, we also provide training using biofeedback technology. As a counselor, my role is to listen, discern strengths and vulnerabilities, and invite growth/advancement from those placing trust in my care. As a consultant, I strive to provide fair/impartial answers (in the manner of a scientist) to posed questions. Cognitive-behavioral training can address many thought patterns, behaviors and physiological states (such as stress).

Every person who steps through my door is a unique individual. Like many multi-faceted people, you may be experiencing confusing or conflicting internal "signals" telling you your life needs changing. Ongoing frustration, worry, sadness, tension, relationship conflict, or disinterest in things that used to give you joy are signs that your life really wants your attention! Distress may drive you to seek relief, but may also indicate your readiness for change. With careful attention, hard work, and the right therapeutic fit, your deepest challenges could, ironically, become the bedrock for a better life.

Good therapy helps promote clarity and progress toward change. I believe that therapy can provide the safety needed for self-exploration and for support in times of stress. And I believe that this safety is created through a trusting therapeutic alliance, which I rely heavily on in my practice. As a clinical social worker, I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults who have a broad range of reasons for seeking therapy - these may include anxiety, depression, family conflict, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, trauma, and loss.

I acknowledge and respect the effort it takes to reach out for help. The strength it takes to say "enough!, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired". The courage it takes to choose towards something more, something better, than where you are at right now. Thank you for being here! What if every wrongness was a strength not yet acknowledged? You are stronger than you think and worth so much more than you can imagine. The fact that you are reading this right now is proof of that!

Hi! I’m Kate. If you’re here, you’re already brave. It takes tremendous bravery and courage to seek professional help, to sit with and process some feelings of hurt. I believe it to be an incredible privilege to work as a counselor. To be trusted with some of the most vulnerable places in an individual’s life is an honor and I will uphold your story with integrity. I believe in the concept of wellness, in healing the whole person rather than a diagnosis or a problem. I consider counseling to be beneficial for all people, regardless of what may bring someone into my space. I would love to work together towards a journey of healing!

I work primarily with adults who are navigating grief and loss, trauma, relational issues, and other life transitions. I am open to working with people of all identities, but particularly enjoy working with the LGBTQ+ population. I identify as queer and consider it an honor to hold space for my community here in Chattanooga. I believe therapy can only be effective when the client feels safe and comfortable, so I am committed to providing accessibility in my office for all body types and abilities.

The therapy process should be viewed as a partnership in which we work together in developing a sense of balance, peace, and stability for your life. Together, you and I will identify the therapeutic options best suited for your needs. I value diversity and respect you as a unique individual. My goal is to create a safe, relaxing, and judgment free space for you throughout your journey.

I love counseling! I would love to walk with YOU and work out solutions to issues causing pain, conflict, and/or broken relationships. I work with everyone and take work with almost all EAPs and honor most insurance payments except Medicare. My primary practice focuses on the enormous value of women. I confront shame and self-blame. I also see teenagers and work with their families as desired.

​Although I am a sole practitioner, I refer to my counseling practice as “our practice.” I do this because the time you spend with me belongs to you. We will work together to help you ​achieve success through the goals that we will set at the beginning of our time together. ​ I want to join my clients on their life journey and help them better understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. My training as a therapist is empirically based and I am also a believer in Jesus Christ and my faith influences my work with clients.
