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.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Financial Social Worker who helps clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where healing and growth can take place. I believe that emotional and financial health are deeply connected, and I help clients build healthier relationships with both themselves and their money. My approach is compassionate, practical, and rooted in empowerment and self-awareness.
I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience walking alongside youth, adults, and families through the many chapters of life. My passion is to see every person connected to my work step into the fullest version of who God created them to be. I firmly believe in the power of His Word to remind us of our purpose, His plans, and the truth of how deeply we are loved.
It is my heart’s desire that each individual I serve experiences healing from the inside out. Restoring of peace, renewing of hope, and empowering them to shine their light everywhere they go.
Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in New Bern, NC
Searching for therapists in New Bern starts with finding someone whose background fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. If you are looking for marriage counseling in New Bern, NC, it can also help to look for therapists who list couples therapy, communication concerns, conflict patterns, or family relationships in their specialties. Review each therapist’s profile for training, therapy style, and areas of focus, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family systems work.
In a smaller city like New Bern, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger North Carolina markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach mental health care before you book.
Therapy in New Bern can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance details, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
