MEET ASHLEY

Ashley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Qualified Supervisor, and Owner of Unbridled Grace. She is also a mom of 3, a devoted wife of 11 years, and native Floridian.

She graduated with her Bachelor’s Degree from Florida State University and then earned her Master’s Degree in counseling from Southeastern University.

Before she became a counselor, Ashley was a high school English Teacher. Her favorite part of her time teaching was not the curriculum, but the heartfelt conversations she had with students about their lives. She quickly learned this is where her passion truly was and made the best decision to pursue a counseling degree.

During her counseling career, she has worked in multiple private practices. In the past, she has been a part of the counseling teams at Raising Teen Girls and The Center for Marriage and Family Enrichment. In these practices, she counseled all populations and led therapy groups for young women and couples in crisis.

After her variety of professional experiences, Ashley followed her passion for counseling females and created her own therapy practice, Unbridled Grace. Her therapy services are specifically designed with females in mind.

Ashley also provides Christian counseling to clients who request it. She loves helping women grow deeper in their faith, finding God’s goodness in the darkest of times, and using their faith as an incredible tool to better their mental health.

In her daily life, Ashley enjoys spending time with her husband and three children (all ages 5 and under!) Reading a good book in the sunshine and yard saling with a coffee in her hand are two of her favorite self-care activities.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE NAME

The name “Unbridled Grace” speaks to the mission of the therapy practice.

Too often, we (as females) are living and reacting to life out of fear, self-judgment, and insecurity. Our responses come naturally and frequently without us realizing how untrue and unhelpful they are to our own wellbeing.

Like putting on a tinted pair of glasses, the script we recite to ourselves affects the way we view ourselves and the world.

But what if our natural response to ourselves and others was filled with grace and care, instead of harshness and criticism? What if we became mindful of our thoughts and the experiences that created them in the first place? What if we stopped merely operating out of what is just an unhealthy familiar and instead began thoughtfully responding to our lives in an intentional way?

At Unbridled Grace, our mission is to help clients tame the defeating patterns in their lives and lead a life filled with abounding grace- beginning with grace for themselves.
