Hi! My name is Ashley. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tennessee with 8 years of experience working with adults, children, couple's and families in mental/behavioral health! My areas of expertise include stress/anxiety, depression, women's issues, self-esteem, LGBTQIA+, identity, and couple's issues.
My therapeutic approach begins with creating a safe and affirming environment for clients and allowing them to be their authentic selves. Modalities I am trained in and utilize in sessions include cognitive behavioral therapy, emotional focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. Using a person-centered approach, I tailor all of my sessions based on my client's individual needs.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.
