About me

Counseling may be one of the most amazing journeys that you take in life, and I'd be honored to help guide you as you take those first steps toward greater self-awareness. I am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed chemical dependency counselor in Texas with over 15 years of experience working as a therapist in a variety of settings, including a private practice, community mental health center, behavioral health hospital, and adult/juvenile probation departments. I've provided counseling services to adults, children, and adolescents experiencing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, family/marital problems, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, ODD, Conduct Disorder, substance use disorders, self-harming behaviors, anger control issues, and various personality disorders. I also have experience working with clients who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual trauma/abuse.

My counseling approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and solution-focused therapies and is always tailored to suit the needs of each individual client. I believe in empathy, understanding, respect, trust, and provide a non-judgmental atmosphere in which my clients can grow and discover. I will not pretend that I have all the answers, but I will work to the best of my ability to help you find yours.

There is no one that I can imagine trusting as much as I trust Ashley. She is helpful and not judgmental when I admit to dumb things I’ve done. I am doing so much better as a person since I’ve started therapy with her. I am forever an Ashley fan.

I have already recommended Better Help to several people and shared my own experience because my therapist, Ashley, has been a tremendous help to me. I have learned how to better work and think through issues instead of getting angry or frustrated. Thanks Ashley.

I am so grateful for Ashley’s support. If anyone has understood me and truly helped me cope with my anxiety and depression, it has been her. I genuinely didn’t think therapy would work for me but after many sessions with Ashley, I have a whole new respect for it. I can’t thank you enough!
