You Are Not Broken or Too Much. You Are Not Alone. Let’s Heal Together.
You make sense. You are not a problem, or a burden, or any of the other things you’ve told yourself.
Hey there, I'm Ashley. I specialize in therapy for moms, birth workers, and those navigating grief, anxiety, and trauma post partum.
Are you experiencing birth trauma?
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected? It’s hard to feel like yourself when you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, postpartum challenges, or relationship struggles.
“I never thought I was an angry person, but lately I feel angry
all the time.”
“I love my kids, but motherhood hasn’t been what I expected. I don’t remember who I am outside of being a mom.“
"I feel overwhelmed all the time, even when I shouldn’t feel that way.”
“We used to be connected, but lately my partner and I can’t seem to get on the same page about anything.”
“My anxiety is so bad that I can’t seem to do any of the things I want to do.”
“My faith used to feel certain and sure, but now I’m not sure what I believe at all anymore.”
“Why can’t I just get over it?? Why am I making such a big deal out of so many things that aren’t a big deal at all?”
"Sometimes it feels like I failed every time a mom doesn't get the birth she wanted."
"I'm exhausted always being on call for births. I'm so tired from the births that don't go well."
If these are thoughts you're having, do you want to…
Make sense of why you feel so overwhelmed?
Increase your capacity to tolerate a wider range of emotions?
Develop strategies to help with emotional regulation?
Find an increased sense of self-compassion?
Explore confusing or difficult childhood memories?
Process your birth story and postpartum experience?
Reconnect with your spouse and restore your relationship?
Hey, it's nice to meet you! I'm Ashley ❤️
I’m Ashley Ward, a second-career therapist who has walked the path you’re on. I understand the challenges of motherhood and trauma because I’ve been there too. I work with you to process your experiences, heal your emotional wounds, and find balance in your life. My compassionate approach offers a safe space to explore your feelings without judgment.
I’m a mom to 4 kiddos, a partner to the best guy I’ve ever known, a friend to a small circle of folks who have loved me and laughed with me for a lifetime (or, a season of a lifetime), and a therapist to the bravest and most beautiful people.
Before becoming a therapist, I was a client just like you. I’ve sat in the chair across from a therapist, worked through my own trauma, and learned the importance of safety, trust, and vulnerability.
