As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she addresses the comprehensive needs of each individual, including mental, physical, and emotional well-being. “My practice is grounded in creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment that promotes healing and personal growth.”
“Dr. Ashley” earned a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in Family Nurse Practitioner studies from Vanderbilt University School of Nursing in 2013, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice with a specialization in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner studies from the University of Arizona in 2021.

By taking the lead, he ensures his wife has the quiet, restorative space she needs to fully unwind after long hours of intense clinical work.
This role is rooted in deep devotion—protecting her energy and emotional well-being so she can show up fully for her clients and the practice. He serves as a protective buffer against burnout, co-managing the home front so she can work with a clear mind and a rested spirit.
