Hello, I'm Ashley, a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with over fifteen years of experience assisting and working with individuals from diverse backgrounds worldwide. My journey through life including becoming a parent and spouse, engaging in continuous education, and embarking multiple professional endeavours has led me to specialize in providing support to those who have endured various forms of trauma, anxiety, and stress.

If you often find yourself overwhelmed or isolated by your experiences, battling negative thoughts about yourself or others, struggling to establish feelings of safety and calm in relationships (including with yourself), reacting impulsively, or encountering difficulty concentrating or sleeping. I'm here to help guide you through your transformative journey.

My approach is rooted in cultural responsiveness, trauma-informed practices, and evidence-based methods, tailored to meet your individual needs and preferences. Together, we'll embark on the journey of cultivating a sense of safety and comfort within yourself, enhancing your relationships, navigating change, and embracing your authentic self.
