Hi there! I'm Ashley :) I am passionate about providing trauma-focused, culturally competent mental health care to clients of all identities. I specialize in treating "big T" trauma, attachment/developmental trauma or "little T," PTSD/complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, and addiction. Often my clients feel stuck in their symptoms, which hold them back from enjoying comfort in their daily lives. These symptoms could include panic attacks, dissociative episodes, feeling disconnected from others, or waves of sadness, all of which can lead to unhealthy self-medication.

My clients would describe me as competent, easy to talk to and compassionate. I am passionate about creating an environment where you can feel safe and heard. Carl Rogers once said, “We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.” I believe that therapeutic work is most helpful when you can sense that you are working with a therapist who genuinely cares and will listen. From that foundation, there will also be space for you to reflect and receive insight that will aid in meeting your goals.

Waitlist for new clients
My clients have experienced a traumatic event(s) such as sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, or neglect. The last ones can be harder to define because invalidation is a common form of emotional neglect that is hard to label. Despite what the trauma is or if it falls into one of those categories exactly, if it affects you, then it matters. Clients come to me with confusion and emotional pain that I help them sift through and connect with in order to heal and create their new normal version of life. I welcome all clients from all walks of life, races, cultures, genders, and preferences. I also provide Texas LPC Associate supervision

Trauma disrupts the whole person. It can leave you feeling detached from yourself and disconnected from those around you. With the extensive variety of symptoms trauma leaves in its wake, it’s also common for survivors to feel misunderstood by others. My goal is to create the space you need to begin feeling safe being you. My passion is for trauma survivors who desire to pursue a life of greater peace, genuineness, and fulfillment. I specialize in working with narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, CPTSD, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and dissociative disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder.

You're exhausted. The grief won't let up, the panic attacks are taking over, or you're struggling to feel like yourself anymore.

The weight of past trauma has profound effects on the body and mind. If your daily responsibilities and obligations feel like they are crushing you and leave little room for your own well-being, I understand. I have been there myself and walked alongside many who are navigating life’s challenges. I have seen clients that struggle with complex trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, religious abuse, dissociative disorders, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideations, and/or substance use to find relief when they have a safe space to let out the emotions that have been trapped inside of them.

I am dedicated to healing the scars that trauma inscribes on hearts, in minds, through behaviors. I understand the fragility of the heart, the dark and winding paths that are possible for the mind to follow, and the effects which play out in the body. Moments that are beyond our comprehension, beyond our control, that play out in a narrative that is not of our choosing. It is my passion to come alongside the individual – child, adolescent, teen, young adult, adult – to help bring light to the darkness, and to walk with the family to develop new ways of seeing one another and interacting together.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists
How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?
Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like Cognitive behavioral therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behavior therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.
Are there specific medications for dissociation?
There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom—which may include antipsychotics like aripiprazole, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or anti-anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines.
How often and how long are therapy sessions?
Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
