About Ashley

From the age of eleven, Ashley wanted to be a therapist. Walking with clients on their journeys of healing is the fulfillment of this lifelong dream. Her own journey towards authenticity and wellness included struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, and body image. As a graduate student, Brene Brown’s research on perfectionism and shame changed her life and continues to inform her work with clients.

A dancer all her life, Ashley believes that movement and mind-body connection are essential components of wellness. This belief led her to pursue advanced training in psychotherapeutic yoga at The Lifeologie Institute for Psychotherapeutic Yoga. This groundbreaking training synthesized neuroscience, psychopathology, asana, and yoga philosophy into a practice that develops the skills and mindset needed to flourish in the modern world.

Ashley is no stranger to overcoming fears and taking risks in the pursuit of her passions. In 2012, she took a leap of faith and auditioned for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Throughout the rigorous selection process, training camp, and her three years on the team, Ashley leaned into her clinical training to fight through perfectionism, body image issues, and anxiety. She knows how to stay true to herself when the pressure is high, and she can empower you do the same.

She has also walked the path of miscarriage, prenatal and postpartum anxiety, baby blues, and parenting concerns. Ashley’s lived experience breathes honesty and empathy into her clinical work in these areas.

Ashley believes in the dignity of all people and is passionate about helping people see their inherent worthiness.

Outside of her counseling practice, Ashley enjoys running, yoga, reading, dancing, cooking, volunteering, and spending time with her family.
