Hello! I want to commend you for reaching out for support; you have taken a major step toward finding satisfaction in your life. My name is Ashley and I am pleased to join you on this journey of growth and wellness.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Mississippi. I have 10 years of experience providing therapy services in many different settings including schools, clinics, and community agencies.
I am a wife and mother of three awesome children. From personal experience, I understand how complex trauma and systemic disadvantage can affect families, generation after generation. I am happy to finally be in a position to help heal others and promote wellness in communities. I have dedicated my life to helping others overcome obstacles to find peace, joy, wellness, and fulfillment in life.
My therapeutic approach is based in Adlerian/Individual Psychology, Behavioral Counseling, and Strategic Brief Counseling. What this means is that I will work with you to develop a healthy, holistic lifestyle by analyzing your current circumstances and developing more gratifying behavior patterns. I have worked with clients struggling through mood disorders, anxiety, relationship issues, attention deficit, and career/educational advancement.
I would love the opportunity to assist with breaking down the barriers that are in your way!

Ashley was wonderful in helping me through my transition. I lost my mother young and she guided me through the process and helped me uncover a good amount of conflicts and assisted me in tackling those issues. I feel so much better after her helping me versus when I came in. Ashley is throughly easy to speak with. She is such a great therapist and I would easily recommend her to anyone that would need a therapist.

I feel right at home talking to Ashley. She is very kind, genuine, and supportive. We've only had a few sessions, but I've appreciated being able to have someone like her to talk to. Her help has done a great deal for me to have perspective thru some tough moments that I'm dealing with. Thank you, Ashley!

I couldn’t be more grateful for meeting Ashley if I tried. Her words of advice and reassurance regarding my personal traumas and current situation have been enormously appreciated. It’s only been a short while since our first chat but I genuinely feel like I have progressed a lot on my journey of healing and self acknowledgment. She has also provided me with very useful information specific to my issues that I am able to continuously refer to should I hit a bump in the road. I have been able to refer a few friends of my onto this platform purely of the back of my own experience and growth. One of which has also started his own healing process. She’s kind, very attentive and listens very well. I honestly wish I had started this sooner but I am very glad that Ashley is there for me at a time where I’ve honestly needed it the most in my life.
