Unconditional positive regard means being accepted and supported—no matter what. In a world where this kind of acceptance can feel rare, our work together can be a space where you feel truly seen and valued. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can connect more deeply with yourself and others.
I work with clients navigating a wide range of experiences, including infertility, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and transitions into and through parenthood. I also provide infertility consultations as requested by fertility clinics and doctors, following ASRM guidelines, to support individuals and couples using donor conception or gestational carriers.

Let’s get curious about it all. My complete respect and empathy are always present.

Hello! I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with children, families and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma and identity exploration. My focus on sessions is practical, real and tailored to each person. Sessions often involve exploring patterns, trying out strategies that actually fit your life and reflecting on what's working and what is not. With children, adults and families, I focus on building connection, understanding experiences and creating small changes that feel meaningful day-to-day. My goal is to make therapy feel like a partnership, not a checklist.
I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and talk openly. I value building a genuine connection and believe therapy works best when it feels like a collaborative partnership.
I am both compassionate and practical in my approach. I will listen and support you, while also helping you look at patterns, gain insight, and develop tools you can use in your daily life. I aim to strike a balance between validating your experience and gently challenging you when it helps you grow.
I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, and decision-making challenges. My goal is to help you feel more clear, confident, and able to move forward in a way that feels aligned with who you are.

Hi, I’m Ashley therapist, animal lover, creative soul, and lifelong daydreamer. I bring a warm and down-to-earth approach to my work, and I believe that connection, curiosity, and authenticity are at the heart of healing.
When I’m not in session, you can usually find me lost in a good book especially fantasy, romantasy, or dark romance (I’m a proud BookTok girly). Some of my favorite reads have come straight from client recommendations. I always love hearing what’s on your bookshelf.
I’m also a big fan of all things crafty. Paper crafting is my go-to especially junk journals and mini albums but I’ve dabbled in wreaths, t-shirts, and tumblers. My creativity also spills into my love of music, which spans from Sleep Token to George Strait to Eminem. I’m always up for discovering new bands or catching a local show.
On slower days, I love wandering through antique stores and thrift shops. Most of my home is decorated with pieces that have a story either found secondhand or passed down through family. I find comfort in giving old things new life.
Animals have always been a grounding force in my world. I’ve been riding horses since I was four, and my heart horse, Kirby, is my trail buddy and snack-sharing best friend (she’s a big fan of applesauce and cupcakes). My two dogs, Oliver and Dottie, are certified therapy dogs who’ve joined me in visits to hospices, hospitals, nursing homes, and children’s reading programs. Together, Kirby, Oliver, and Dottie inspired the name Free to Wander Counseling, a reflection of my belief that healing often begins when we allow ourselves to explore, play, and connect in gentle, open-hearted ways.
Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here just as you are.
