Hi, and welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. My name is Nate, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey. Healing and growth are possible—sometimes it starts with just one small step forward.
A little about me: I hold a Master’s in Social Work, a Bachelor’s in Psychology, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. My passion is helping people who are hurting find hope, strength, and clarity. If you’re here, it likely means you’re ready for change, and that’s a courageous first step. Let’s begin this work together.
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and a Strengths-based focus in my work. I respect my clients and support their right to live their lives as they choose without judgement. I primarily serve adults seeking individual or couples therapy.
I have wanted to be a counselor from a young age. I received my undergraduate BA degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado and my graduate degree M.Ed clinical/ school counseling from the University of Phoenix. I also spent two years studying at the Denver Seminary to learn how to incorporate faith into counseling. I started out as a middle school counselor and also worked as a therapist in a counseling clinic. My passions are parent coaching, helping with anxiety disorders as well as depressive disorders.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience serving children and adolescents, with a passion for the positive development of youth. I used a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and interactive approach, prioritizing that every child finds their voice; feels seen, heard, and empowered; and has fun in the process! I specialize in assisting youth in navigating daily stressors and trauma.
Welcome! I’m Ashley, and I’m passionate about supporting clients on their journey toward healing and growth. I have over nine years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I specialize in trauma-informed care as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).

I support individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, trauma, grief/loss, and women’s issues.
