Hello everyone! Thanks for taking time to read my profile. I help Disconnected Couples, Restless Entrepreneurs, and Anxious Adults. 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 navigate confusing thoughts, emotions, relationships, careers, and matters of faith.

Are you looking to break free from suffering and overcome your reluctance to be your authentic self? I know how hard it can be to try to cope and be in the struggle alone. As a licensed therapist in Nashville, Tennessee, I help clients navigate complex trauma and mental health challenges like depression, anxiety and interpersonal difficulties, as well as OCD, ADHD, and PTSD. I deeply believe that cost should not be a barrier to accessing quality mental health care and healing, so I offer a sliding-scale. My approach is integrative – tailored to your unique story and needs. We can walk together, grow together, and heal together.

Not accepting new clients
I am unable to take new clients at this time - As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe we all deserve to feel connected, whole, and fulfilled in this life. For some, that means delving into the past to understand who they are today. For some, it is focusing on the present to cultivate a life worth living. And for some, it is a little bit of both. I am passionate about coming alongside my clients to navigate the stressors and challenges of life, as well as celebrating the wins. I believe that we are all doing the best we can in any given moment and aim to empower my clients in their next steps on their journey.

I believe in the counseling process; the space it opens internally and the shifting it can provide for clients and families on their life's journey. With over a decade of counseling children and adolescents in Metro Nashville Public Schools, I have a unique and expansive experience working with children, adolescents, and their families as they find togetherness, and themselves.

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.

Our collective struggle is that we have inherited a world of imbalance and as such, imbalance lives within each of us. It is my belief that healing is done in community, and that true change can only occur in the space between individuals. Together, we will work to find equilibrium and healing amongst the madness. It is my goal to help clients develop and hone the best version of themselves according to their own vision. Through the integration of movement and the expressive arts, I seek to assist clients in rewriting their narratives in a way that embodies dignity and strength.

I help folks with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, religious wounding, identity, and life transitions.

I offer a space in which clients can feel safe and seen as they are, without judgment or shame, because therapy isn’t “one size fits all”. I want to find the path that fits YOU best so you feel empowered to move towards the change you want to see.

I believe the therapeutic relationship heals and will keep good boundaries while also genuinely caring about your well-being. I am a warm, intelligent, down-to-earth person who snorts when she laughs. I am interactive and fun, compassionate and heart-centered, as well as grounded and practical. I welcome all people from all walks of life and will allow your therapy journey to unfold organically, at your pace and with your power. I also give feedback and homework and will give you gentle nudges from time to time, if needed. Therapy is hard and fun and beautiful and painful. I hold safe space.

If you tell yourself: “I can’t keep living like this,” we'll be a good fit. I specialize in individuals, couples, and families who've been impacted by suicidal thoughts and related concerns, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and identity-related stress (gender, sexual orientation, ethnic/racial). These people are cycle-breakers who want to change old family patterns; stonecatchers who try to protect others from mistreatment because they know how it feels; or those who are simply tired of feeling “just ok.” Ultimately I blend the nerdy science of psychology with humility and humor to support you in building a more meaningful life.

I work with kids, adolescents, and adults who feel stuck; they are experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and disordered eating. Many have carried the weight of traumatic experiences for as long as they can remember. Many feel that they spend excess time worrying about food and their bodies and find it hard to engage fully in their lives. They continue to feel out of control of their relationships, their bodies, and their emotions. They feel numb and isolated on the surface, and deep down feel hurt and helpless.

Many of my clients come to therapy because they don't feel confident, safe, or at peace in themselves, how they connect with others, or how they fit in the world. These areas are at the core of who you are and how you interact in the world. At times, it may be difficult to move forward and you may feel stuck. You may feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed. This can affect relationships, work, and your sense of self. It can be difficult to find your way back to yourself and the life you want to build. I'm passionate about helping people navigate this journey. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, life transitions and identity.

"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.

Treatment for psychological disorders is better than ever. I specialize in offering new, evidence-based treatment options for OCD and related/co-occuring conditions that are more gentle and affirming than traditional approaches. How you experience OCD can be influenced by ADHD, Autism, racism, LGBTQ+ identity, PTSD/trauma history, substance use and other contextual and identity factors. I'm here to listen with humility and acceptance (no thoughts are too shameful or taboo), make a thoughtful diagnosis, and gently guide you through science-backed treatment. Best of all, we can do it all from the comfort of home via videoconferencing.
