Attachment-based Therapists in Nashville, TN
Do you ever feel like you just need to vent or give someone the tea without worrying it’ll be spilled later? Are you craving real connection but not sure how to get there? Maybe you're feeling stuck in your relationship, overwhelmed by a life transition, or just tired of carrying it all alone. You might be navigating conflict with your partner, adjusting to a new season of life, or sitting with emotions that feel too heavy to name. If you’re moving through something big like pregnancy, early motherhood, singleness, or the shift into empty nesting, you deserve support that feels safe, steady, and judgment-free.

Together, using Brainspotting, mindfulness, breathwork, attachment-based, and emotion-focused approaches, we support healing and recover your sense of wholeness.
If you grew up needing to be “the good one,” felt invisible or misunderstood, or managed others’ emotions, you may now feel stuck in people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. Many of my clients are insightful, sensitive adults who learned these strategies to survive difficult childhood experiences and are now ready to understand themselves and live with greater ease. In therapy, we explore how the past shaped your relationships and gently release survival patterns through compassionate, trauma-informed, body-based work so you can reconnect with your needs, grieve what you didn’t receive, and begin trusting yourself.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. Choosing the right therapist is undoubtably an important decision. In fact, research has demonstrated that which therapist you work with matters far more than the techniques or approach he or she employs. I work with adults of all ages and am especially drawn to helping people who are open-minded, motivated and eager to learn. I have a passion for helping people improve their relationships (both with themselves and others), and I also love working with people in therapy groups.

I am certified in EMDR and play therapy, and trained in Somatic Experiencing and attachment-based therapies.
Have you been impacted by trauma, childhood wounds, or other harmful experiences? Reaching out takes courage. I'm passionate about building relationships with clients of all ages, developing trust and safety to create the space and awareness to be who you were made to be. I believe we are designed to heal. Sometimes the strategies we developed to navigate the world initially helped us to survive, but they are no longer serving us, and may actually by keeping us from living life fully now. I journey alongside my clients as they reconnect with their true selves, rediscover hope, and step into a richer experience of life.

The strategies that used to work (perfectionism, performance, sheer discipline) aren't enough anymore. You feel exhausted, disconnected, maybe questioning the beliefs or identity that used to anchor you. Or you're living with the effects of complex trauma: persistent anxiety, emotional dysregulation, addictive patterns, a quiet sense that something is wrong. You've tried quick fixes and coping strategies, but you know the patterns run deeper. What you need is genuine understanding, a way to see why you're stuck and how to rewrite the story you've been living.

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.

You're exhausted from holding it all together — and somewhere along the way, taking care of yourself stopped making the list. Maybe anxiety has been running the show so long it just feels like you. Maybe intrusive thoughts have you questioning your own mind. Maybe you just had a baby and nothing feels the way you thought it would. Whatever brought you here: you don't have to keep white-knuckling it. You're exactly who I work with — and change is possible.

I specialize in working with the emotional internalizers of the world. Do you self-isolate? Not return text messages or calls when life gets hard? Stuffing down your feelings and wants? Avoiding conflict? Self-sabotaging? Maybe intimacy is hard for you, especially if you're a survivor of sexual trauma. You want desperately to change but aren’t sure how. Trauma (especially from dysfunctional childhoods) convinces us that we’re an anomaly, not worth loving. It feels like everyone has it “together” except you. I get it, I’ve been there. The truth is, you’re not alone. Let's help YOU get what YOU what from life, relationships, and work.

I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—often navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the impact of past experiences. Many of my clients are insightful and capable, yet find themselves caught in patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we slow things down and create space to understand what’s beneath the surface. Through a supportive, collaborative process, we build awareness, strengthen resilience, and move toward a way of living that feels more grounded, aligned, and connected.

Relational therapy for BIPOC queer people, couples, and chosen families. I work with people in complex relationships, including partners, polycules, families, friend groups, and the relationship they have with themselves. Many come in feeling stuck in familiar roles or carrying more than their share. My work is grounded in family systems and somatics. I am also a yoga teacher, and I integrate body awareness to support regulation and honest conversation. I pay close attention to safety, consent, and power, helping people stay connected while honoring themselves.
