Welcome to Ash & Ember Therapy

You're not here by accident. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just plain exhausted — you're in the right place. I help teens, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and life stress with honesty, warmth, and a flexible approach that meets you where you are.

Whether you're here to build coping skills, make sense of your past, or feel more grounded in the present, we’ll work together in a space that’s supportive, real, and judgment-free.

Let’s take it one step at a time.

About Ash & Ember Therapy

Hi, I’m Morgan — a therapist who believes that healing doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold. I bring a laid-back, honest, and compassionate presence to each session, meeting you as a whole person first.

I work with teens, adults, and older adults dealing with anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, family conflict, and life transitions. Many of my clients come in feeling overstretched, stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, or unsure how to set boundaries. Together, we slow things down, look at what’s underneath, and move toward sustainable change.

Depending on your needs, we might spend sessions talking things through, using EMDR to process trauma, incorporating mindfulness practices, or working from a CBT or DBT lens. I also use Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and structured tools like workbooks or guided exercises when a little more focus is helpful.

My approach is flexible and person-centered. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe to show up as you are — mess and all. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, connected, and in control, I’d love to work with you.
