- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am licensed in Alabama and Texas with 6 years of professional work experience. Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, each with their unique needs and challenges.
My passion lies in helping individuals navigate life's complexities, and I specialize in supporting clients through the most common yet profound human experiences, including grief and loss, motivation struggles, self-esteem and confidence issues, career difficulties, relationship challenges, and the daunting grip of depression and anxiety.
My therapeutic approach is best described as laid back and client-centered. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we'll collaborate to develop strategies that align with your goals and values, empowering you to make meaningful changes in your life.
If you're seeking a therapist who combines experience with a compassionate, client-focused approach, I'm here to support you on your journey towards a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life. Let's embark on this path of self-discovery and growth together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Best therapist that i have had in a long time
I Love my therapist she encourages me to be the best me and helps me to remain balanced in my time of need and life . When i need it most
I absolutely love Ashley! She knows how to match your energy and never makes me feel like something is wrong with me. She’s kind of like a third eye, no matter how self aware I think I am, I always find out something new when I talk to her. 10/10 would recommend!
