You feel overwhelmed and anxious, your heart starts to race out of nowhere, but you don’t know why or when it’s going to stop.

I provide a safe, judgment-free zone and support for you to pursue freedom.

Michelle provides mental health counseling to children, adolescents, and adults. She has over ten years of experience working with clients directly impacted by abuse and trauma. Intrinsically, Michelle believes we are all capable of accomplishing our own individual goals of growth, healing, and/or change when we’re open to trusting the therapeutic process. Michelle values the importance of a strong therapeutic bond with her clients, built on mutual respect, honesty, genuine rapport, and therapeutic humor. She also believes that therapy should be a collaborative journey with her clients and the caregivers of her child clients.

Life is complex – often filled with positive experiences and also times of facing challenges. At times, it can feel overwhelming to manage some of those challenges on your own, and therapy can be a great source of support. I seek to create a space where you can understand more about yourself, the current challenges you are facing, and feel empowered in reaching your personal goals, hopes, and dreams. Therapy is most beneficial when you feel a sense of partnership and ownership in your process, from the first meeting, in setting your goals for therapy, and in setting a pace that supports your needs, healing, and growth.

By working together, we can identify the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are contributing to your distress, and develop strategies to help you feel better and live a more fulfilling life. ​

Hello and thank you for stopping by my page. I pride myself on being an advocate for women. I have a passion for perinatal and women's mental health. I also have several years of experience working with clients who experience anxiety, depression and trauma. It's not uncommon for moms to have "mom guilt" or for a women to suffer from hyperemesis. It's also not uncommon for a college student to face dating violence or for a woman with PCOS to struggle with self-esteem issues. No woman is without struggle. I want to be that support for you on your journey.

Typically, clients come to see me when their previous experiences with traditional "talk" therapy haven't helped to resolve their symptoms. Trauma and stress have an emotional, psychological and physical impact, but we often need to start treatment at the most basic level: calming the nervous system. I see clients who are experiencing chronic pain, illness, addiction, PTSD and other common co-occurring disorders including Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) or Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES). All of these issues can be treated using empirically proven techniques that address the whole person - body, mind and spirit.

Healing from trauma is possible. But you don't have to do this alone. People pleasing, family stress, anger, chronic pain, addictions, shame, insecurity; just a few ways trauma tends to show itself in your life. When people decide to get curious about how the wounding moments in life have impacted their self-worth and worldview, then healing can occur. I help people let go of shame, rediscover who they are, and find some reasons to smile again. You deserve to heal. And you deserve support through this process. I would be honored to help discover what healing looks like for you, should you choose to no longer travel that path alone.

My job is to help you mend your relationship with yourself so that you can find and grow healthy connections with others. Together, we will work to discover the root of the problem while also investigating other issues often tied to intimacy disorders, such as addiction in all its forms, including substances, workaholism, sex, pornography, poor spending habits, and other addictive behaviors.

Hi there! I'm Ashley. I'm a therapist in Texas offering individual and couples counseling to adults and teens. I am passionate about providing trauma-focused, culturally competent mental health care to clients of all identities. I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD/complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, addiction and first responder trauma. 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.

Do you feel stuck? Anxious, depressed, or fearful of the future? Trauma leaves a mark on your mind, body, and soul. It can leave you frozen, feeling anxious and depressed, affecting your relationships, taking away your sense of security, and causing you to lose hope. It could even lead to the use of drugs and alcohol to cope with the emotional pain and traumatic memories. But healing is possible! You can have the life filled with peace and joy that you've always wanted.

I work with pre-teens, and teens. I love helping youth navigate the unique challenges that come with developing their identity.

I specialize in the stuck teen, experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and frustration with those around them. I also help parents know how to comfort and teach their teens. I understand how new uncertainties affects teens mood and identity. I want to help!
