My experiences include counseling diverse populations of families, couples, and individuals, practicing play therapy, art therapy, and sand tray therapy with children, working with depression, eating disorders, anxiety and other disorders.
I provide affordable counseling to couples, adults, adolescents and children. I recognize that it is difficult to talk with a stranger about problems and therefore, I strive to see my clients' problems through their eyes. I am open minded in order to create a comfortable and non-judgmental atmosphere for change. I help my clients make small changes to their lives in order to achieve bigger goals.

Her work at LifeStance is an “eclectic” mixture of therapies that includes expressive therapies such as art/music/play, narrative therapy, reality therapy, and CBT to name a few.
Ashley is a Licensed Professional Counselor. As a native Tennesean, she earned both her Bachelor’s of Psychology and Master’s of Community Counseling from the University of Tennessee. Her professor once said, “Play is a child’s most natural language.” That phrase, along with her love of the children, solidified Ashley’s career path. A job opportunity called her to Texas where she fell in love with breakfast tacos, blue bonnets and wide open spaces. She worked at an inpatient psychiatric hospital that exposed her to a variety of clinical diagnoses in the child and adolescent population.

My calling is to provide a safe space where individuals can be themselves, feel heard, and understood. I believe that every counseling session should be a place where clients are treated with compassion, respect, and kindness.

Sometimes struggle, worry, and stress aren’t met with joy, comfort and reward. For some, struggle is the reward and they are lost without it. Some struggle through life sacrificing their own needs and lay in bed drained at night. Some justify themselves by saying things like, “that’s life” or “it is what it is”. At Meliora Pathway Therapy, I believe each individual has the ability to develop self-efficacy and thrive when they are viewed and treated as a whole being. My hope is that in building your self-efficacy and self-trust, in combination with my therapeutic techniques, you will feel more connected with yourself and others.

You were taught to tear yourself down, aim low, and use all your energy to take care of others while leaving nothing for yourself. Do you know that Spirit has a plan for you that’s bigger than this? No wonder your mind's driving you crazy! Our image-obsessed society is deeply afraid of the wild creative potential of our emotions. The real problem is NOT that you’re weak! It’s that you don’t trust yourself to be powerful. Imagine how amazing your life could be if you learned to channel all that crazy-making energy into finding yourself, feeling good, and fulfilling your deepest calling.

I believe that everyone possesses tools to overcome any challenge in life. There are times when life has us feeling stuck and we need help finding the key to our tool box. With all the hurdles life throws, we can be left feeling hopeless, leaving us to forget tools that have helped through past obstacles. To help individuals and families overcome these life challenges, I use a strengths based approach and other evidenced-based approaches to help individuals and families reclaim their fortitude in life.
