Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MDiv, NCC
Life is hard—and when we dare to really live, it can leave us overwhelmed, exhausted, or quietly hurting. I don’t believe this means something is wrong with you; I believe it means you’re human. Whether you’re longing to feel more at home in yourself, struggling in a relationship that matters deeply, or navigating a season of transition or loss, therapy can offer a steady place to pause and make sense of what you’re carrying. My work with individuals, couples, and families is grounded in presence, honesty, and compassion, helping you reconnect with the wisdom, strength, and love that already live within you. Sometimes we don’t need fixing—we need a trusted guide and a safe space to remember who we are. If you’re here, it tells me you’ve been open, and openness often comes with wounds. I would be honored to walk alongside you as we gently explore your story and open new possibilities for peace, clarity, and a more fully lived life.

Carmalyn Lashley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you feel seen? Do you feel heard? Do you feel you matter? Those are the ingredients that build connection. And connection is vitally important for our happiness. However, so often today that's exactly what we find is missing. And life can hand us things we don't know how to deal with. I'd love to work with you to help you build strategies that build connection between yourself and those you care about. I’m deeply moved by the work people do for repair and healing. Share your story with me. I will listen without judgment and with compassion for your struggle.

I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.
