I’m Ashley, a Registered Social Worker, mother of two, and certified “Swifty.” I have a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology, a post-graduate certificate in Addictions and Mental Health, and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Toronto. My journey in the supporting field spans over 10 years in both hospital and community settings.
My therapeutic style is relational and person-centered, grounded in the belief that healing begins within a safe, supportive relationship. I aim to meet each person exactly where they are in their journey of self-exploration and discovery, moving at a pace that feels both comfortable and meaningful.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, mood concerns, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem and body image challenges. I also have a particular interest in supporting parents of youth who are navigating difficulties with emotion regulation, as well as perinatal populations.
My approach is integrative, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities. Together, we will find a path that feels supportive and tailored to your needs, with the goal of helping you build resilience, self-understanding, and emotional balance.
