More About Ashley:

Ashley is a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree from York University and her Masters's in Counselling Psychology from Athabasca University.
She is a fully Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Level 2, having developed extensive knowledge and experience in helping individuals work through traumatic life events.

Ashley has years of experience working with a diverse adult client population whose presenting concerns range from depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, chronic pain, anger, and self-esteem. She works within a cognitive-behavioural framework while implementing aspects of solution-focused and narrative strategies. In this way, each treatment plan is tailored to the individual client.

Further, Ashley provides a safe and supportive space for the client to gain awareness of their thoughts and helps them to dismantle unhelpful thought patterns gently. Being a BIPOC female, Ashley is aware of how issues surrounding intersectional and non-dominant identities factor into a client’s overall well-being.
