Please feel free to call me Sam. I'm originally from North Carolina and received my bachelor's degree in social work at Appalachian State. In 2022, I moved to Southwest Virginia and received my master's degree in social work from Radford University. Overall, I have 13 years of experience as a Social Worker in different capacities, including grief and loss, chronic illness, and burnout. My passion is working with adults and older adults navigating life changes.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a master’s degree in Conflict Studies and Dispute Resolution from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I also hold a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling, with honors of distinction from Capella University. I am a trained mediator who loves the opportunity to allow clients to be exactly who they are, while they figure out who they want to be.
With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about guiding individuals on their journey to balance, mindfulness and joy. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations and addressing a wide range of mental health challenges. This journey has reinforced my belief that each person's path to well-being is unique and deserves a personalized approach.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Walden University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Norfolk State University. My clinical experience spans emergency departments, hospitals, and community-based behavioral health settings, where I have supported adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use concerns, and complex medical or psychiatric challenges.
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). My background includes a Master’s in School Counseling where I gained internship experience in both elementary and high school settings. I support individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, trauma, grief/loss, and women’s issues. While I have worked with clients of all backgrounds, I do also offer Christian counseling, if requested, for those who wish to incorporate faith into the therapeutic process.
Life can leave us carrying experiences that feel too heavy to hold alone. Whether you’re facing the impact of trauma, struggling in relationships, navigating grief and loss, managing anger, or working through challenges related to substance use, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin again. The healing is not a "one-size-fits-all" process; my goal is to utilize an evidence-based intervention that you feel really "clicks" with how you view life and approach problem-solving. Common interventions I utilize include: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-focused Brief Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Knightdale, NC
Searching for therapists in Knightdale starts with knowing what kind of support you want and what background matters to you. Therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Knightdale, the number of nearby in-person offices may be more limited than in larger areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options across North Carolina while still letting you search for someone licensed in the state. You may want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and scheduling flexibility. Reading profiles before booking can also help you understand how each therapist describes their communication style and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Knightdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after entering your plan details, and book directly when you’re ready.
