Supporting individuals 10 years old and above.
Ashley provides services in Sherwood Park, Vegreville, and online across Alberta to those 12+.
Over the past 20 years Ashley has worked in a few capacities that have led her to be in the role she holds today as a Registered Psychologist.
From supporting children and youth through some of their most challenging times, to navigating court systems with families experiencing various forms of violence, researching violence prevention, and designing and delivering a variety of support and prevention programs operating in the province today, Ashley has seen first hand the immense impact that stable, nonjudgemental, and informed practice can have in supporting individuals navigating some of the most challenging periods in their lives.
Ashley’s extensive experience has led her to hold a passion for working alongside individuals who are experiencing symptoms related to post traumatic stress, grief, anxiety, body image, childhood trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, relationships, boundaries, communication, life transitions including divorce, with a special interest in Women’s health.
Ashley is formally trained in a variety of modalities including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Techniques, Mindfulness, Equine Assisted Therapy, Resilience Focused Therapeutic Practices, Solution Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Animal Assisted Interventions and is currently working towards her certification in Complex Trauma and Dissociation. Through an evidence based lens Ashley works to integrate modalities, discuss other holistic supports, and develop specialized work to suit your unique challenges and interests as an individual in this world.
Ashley has a friendly furry companion named Piper who occasionally makes an appearance in session to support some of the work, although Piper is now only working part-time due to her napping demands.
Outside of work, Ashley enjoys spending her time with family and friends and can usually be found somewhere on a mountain trail, swimming with Piper in the lake, or anywhere outdoors
