Storms of life come to us in all kinds of ways. Like an unexpected Texas hail storm pounding us with stress and shattering our lives; or a tornado of change uprooting all that was once familiar; or perhaps a seemingly small gust of difficulty which swirls our lives around until we no longer have a sense of direction. We are in uncertain times which often creates waves of doubt and amplifies our fears as we question the future. Yet in the midst of the chaos there can be a sense of calm. I’ve been honored to walk the path of healing with those struggling in addiction, trauma, grief, loss and relationship challenges. With a background in psychology as well as recreation, I use proven methods of Counseling to empower strength in discovering a sense of purpose through clearing of the mind, restoration of the body and joy in the spirit. It takes courage to change and face the storms of life. I look forward to joining you in your journey and helping you turn the tides of your storm into hope and healing.
Hi, I’m Ashley — a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents and adults. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and genuinely human. I help clients move through anxiety, stress, neurodivergence-related challenges, overthinking, and major life transitions.
You don't have to be in crisis to want therapy. Maybe life is mostly working, but something isn't. You might be dealing with life or work stress, relationship patterns, dating, sexual concerns, anxiety, overthinking, or simply feeling stuck and wanting something to change.
I tend to work best with people who are thoughtful, self-aware, and willing to get curious about themselves. You don't need to know exactly what is wrong or have the right words for it. "Something is bothering me" is enough. What matters more is that you're willing to look honestly at what happens, when it happens, and how you show up in it.
My style is direct, curious, collaborative, and active. We won't just talk about what happened. We'll pay attention to what comes up in session, explore the emotions, needs, and patterns underneath your reactions, and work on responding differently when it matters.
I'm neurodivergent and highly sensitive myself, and my practice is sex-positive, queer-affirming, kink-aware, and welcoming of polyamory and ENM. You don't need to censor or explain who you are here. Come curious and ready to participate. We'll figure out the rest together.
I am a native Texan, auntie, ice cream-loving, roller skating, retired professional athlete who also happens to be a Therapist. My background in the world of mental health dates back 10 years, in my work with families of Autism, Substance abuse and misuse, Student-athletes, Life- transitions, and family therapy. I enjoy introducing people back to themselves as they unpack their past with grace and patience. If you are experiencing racing thoughts, overthinking, or people-pleasing, let our work together find the root cause and, from there, uncover solutions that work for you. I believe that therapy does not have to be "forever," and my role is to safely get you to a place of wholeness within your next quest and journey.
I am a Houston, Texas native and Austin, Texas resident. As a License Professional Counselor, I have worked in the mental health field for the past 7 years. My goal is to help you work through your struggles by helping you identify areas that you would like or need to change. Together we will set appropriate goals for improvements while supporting you on a path for a healthy life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Temple
Searching for therapists in Temple starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options for Temple therapy or counseling in Temple, TX, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or family systems work.
Temple is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. Some people prefer an office setting near Downtown Temple, Westwood, or Forest Park, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Their profile can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and experience with couples counseling, marriage counseling, or individual therapy.
Therapy in Temple 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 you book. Headway helps you search therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you find a fit. You can browse therapists in Temple, compare bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
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.
