Imagine carrying a backpack you’ve filled throughout your life—memories, expectations, fears, and responsibilities. Over time, it becomes so heavy you forget what it feels like to move freely. Therapy is a place where we unpack that backpack together. We’ll sort through what weighs you down, decide what to carry forward, and lighten the load so you can step into life with more ease and intention. As a social worker, psychotherapist and child of South Asian immigrants from Punjab (sikh), I support clients with a compassionate, client-centered approach, specializing in CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and Parts Theory.

The concept of our “self” can be approached in numerous ways. In my practice, I see our consciousness and actions as driven by parts. These parts can operate with various outcomes with a baseline of wanting to do good in your life; however, in different situations, these parts can do more harm than we want. The mind and body are such complex systems that it would be foolish to think that a single method will work for everyone. My practice sees a combination of theories including Internal Family Systems and Narrative Therapy.

People sometimes feel they are alone and that no one understands what they’re going through. They might just ‘push through’ because they believe they have to, try things that work for others but not them, or forget what’s helpful to them anymore. These efforts can leave anyone feeling stuck, tired, and looking for change. I use an approach that is practical, strengths-focused, and recognizing the whole individual. My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship of understanding, possibility, and direction to help folks get closer to what they want in life.

My name is Ashley (She/Her) and I work with children, adolescence, and adults to manage anxiety. If you or your child is overcome with panic, feel scared to perform or speak to others, have trouble getting to school or participating in things that could bring joy, then I can help. I use mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy to treat and manage anxiety. I provide a safe and caring environment to explore worries, learn strategies to manage somatic symptoms of fear and anxiety and help identify thinking traps that reinforce fears. If you or your child struggles with anxiety, give me a call and we will create a plan together.

"Life has many ways of testing a person's will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.” ― Paulo Coelho. We have the ability as humans to overcome adversity, trauma and life altering stressors.

Whether the feeling is the desire for change or the awareness that you need help; it is the first step in your healing. The goal is to process the feelings that hold you back, thus freeing up space for positive memories, healthy coping, and self compassion.
