Ashley is a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). She holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Trent University, and a postgraduate specialization in Addictions and Mental Health from Durham College.
Ashley specializes in trauma therapy, working with individuals experiencing post-traumatic stress injury/disorder (PTSI/D) and distressing symptoms resulting from traumatic events. Her primary approach is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), with a particular focus on EMDR-PRECI, a structured protocol designed to help clients safely and effectively process recent trauma. This method enables the brain to reprocess distressing memories in a way that reduces emotional intensity, restores a sense of safety, and prevents long-term disruptions caused by unresolved trauma. By using bilateral stimulation, EMDR-PRECI allows the nervous system to integrate overwhelming experiences, helping individuals move from a state of distress to one of stability and resilience.
Her clinical experience includes private practice, crisis intervention, and residential support. She has worked as a Residential Counsellor in a high-support transitional housing program and volunteered with Distress Centre Durham, serving as both a Crisis Line Responder and mentor. Ashley has pursued extensive additional training in trauma-informed care, behavior change models, and suicide prevention.
Ashley believes that trauma does not have to define a person’s future. Her approach is rooted in the understanding that healing is not about erasing the past but about reclaiming control over how it impacts the present. Through EMDR-PRECI, she helps individuals efficiently process and release distressing memories, empowering them to move forward with greater emotional ease.

I’m a Registered Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel truly heard, valued, and supported. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or the emotional toll of frontline work, my goal is to walk alongside you as we work toward healing, growth, and renewal—together.
I hold a master’s degree in social work from the University of Calgary and am certified in CBT Trauma Therapy. Over the past two decades, I have had the privilege to work with individuals from all walks of life, including those struggling with mental health challenges, trauma, and high-stress professions. My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapy, combined with mindfulness and self-compassion techniques, all tailored to your unique needs.
I have experience working in the corrections field, where I gained deep insight into the stress, trauma, and emotional weight carried by first responders, frontline workers, and those in demanding professions. I understand the pressure of always being “on,” the unspoken burdens of the job, and the challenge of processing difficult experiences while continuing to serve others.
I provide therapy for adults seeking support with:
Anxiety & Depression – Managing overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
Trauma & PTSD – Healing from past experiences and finding ways to move forward.
Stress & Burnout – Learning strategies to regain balance and resilience.
First Responders & Frontline Workers – Creating a space to process the emotional impact of high-pressure work.
I take a client-centered approach, which means your needs, goals, and experiences guide our work together. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness strategies, I help you identify unhelpful thought patterns, reframe limiting beliefs, and build new skills to navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate space where you feel empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
