I help committed couples, especially when one or both partners has ADHD, who are experiencing disconnection so they can create secure attachment.
I know how painful it is to feel disconnected from your loved ones or even yourself. When you’re in a relationship with someone you love, but you can’t seem to connect, it’s agonizing. When your person doesn’t hear you, and you feel like you’re all alone, it is incredibly painful. Or maybe you are frustrated because you and your partner can’t seem to get on the same page sexually. Maybe you’d like to engage sexually, but until you get more emotional connection, it just feels impossible. I work with clients to help them experience being accessible, responsive, and engaged in relationships, leading to deep connections and more fulfilling lives.
Ashley Marie is Certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and helps couples and individuals heal relational wounds, reshape emotional patterns, and build secure, lasting connections through a research-backed, attachment-based approach. Click here to learn more about EFT.
Couples Therapy
Couples get stuck in horrible cycles of disconnection and start to wonder if things can ever go back to how they were in the beginning. When you’re in a relationship, but you can’t reach your person, it can feel agonizingly lonely. Ashley Marie can help you reconnect and feel close to your partner again. Relationships are hard. But change never happens in isolation. Deep down, we all are chasing after the same thing: connection. Intimate connection with another human being can be terrifying; you don’t always know how to reach out and that it’s so painful.

Marriage & Couples Therapy
Research consistently demonstrates that EFT is highly effective for couples struggling with relationship issues. 70-75% of couples experience relief from relationship distress after a series of sessions. Roughly 90% of couples show significant improvement and growth within the relationship after around 12 sessions. Ashley Marie is one of only about 30 therapists in the entire state of Texas that is Certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.

Getting married is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make—don’t do it alone.

Ashley Marie can help you tune into your deepest needs and find the courage to reach for your partner in ways that truly connect.

Therapy for Sexual Wholeness
I believe everyone deserves a fulfilling and connected sex life — but it doesn’t always come easily.
