Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Houston, TX

I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.

For me, helping others has always been deeply personal. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, seen, and understood. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Houston–Clear Lake. I enjoy working with individuals navigating chronic pain or illness, adjustment challenges, and caregiver burnout. I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy and strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and respected as we work together toward meaningful and realistic goals.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens, adults, and children ages 7 and older navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel understood and supported. I draw from person-centered therapy, attachment work, mindfulness, and I’m trained in EMDR to help process past experiences. I especially enjoy working with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

I appreciate you being here and getting to know a bit about me and my counseling background. It means that you are contemplating the beginning of your therapeutic journey.

My primary goal is to provide a helping hand to clients in need. Clients will find that I am able to listen and provide helpful strategies to help navigate through whatever journey they find themselves on. Whether it be a young child, adolescent, or adult, I am able to keep them at the center of the therapeutic process and help them discover peace and purpose.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Houston and obtained a Masters of Education in Counselor Education from the University of St. Thomas. I was an educator for 13 years including 5 as a school counselor/administrator.

As a school counselor, I have assisted students with disabilities, trauma, mood and personality disorders. I have also worked with parents who find themselves in a cycle that they feel cannot be broken. My intention is to help clients identify hurts, hang-ups, and habits that keep them from living to their full potential and work through them.

I am EMDR trained and provide trauma informed care. I have also utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and various interventions from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to treat clients with anxiety, depression, and self-harming behaviors.

Whatever it is you are facing, I am willing to listen and provide sound care. As a fellow human, I understand the needs that can arise from trauma, hurt, and misunderstanding. If you are in need of an ear to hear and a heart to care, please contact me. I am here to help.

Hi! I’m Ashley—former educator, school counselor, and third‐year doctoral student. I support humans ages 3+ navigating anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, life transitions, burnout, and the pressure to hold everything together. My years in education uniquely equip me to help parents with practical strategies and to support educators and students at all levels working through burnout and imposter syndrome. My style brings together a person‐centered belief that you’re the expert on your own life, paired with research‐backed strategies, clear psychoeducation, and a light touch of humor to make the hard work feel more doable.

One of my priorities is to be open-minded. Everyone struggles with a combination of problems that are specific to them.
