Welcome!
Hi, I am Ashley. I am happy you are here making your wellness a priority!
I am a Registered Social Worker and a counsellor specializing in empowerment, self-discovery, and self-love. I have spent much time working with individuals suffering from addictions, mental health, and trauma. I have experience with parents, children, and family relationship difficulties as well as navigating the systems such as the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), Vancouver Aboriginal Child and Family Services Society (VACFSS), Ministry of Social Development (MSD), and countless health and social services.
I have certifications in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Emotional Regulation through Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Crisis Intervention, Mindfulness Meditation and Breath-Work, Somatic Release through Reiki Energy Healing, Trauma-Informed Care, and Self-Actualization modalities. I also offer some Equine Trauma Therapies. Additionally, I have much experience with grief and loss, with a focus on traumatic loss.
In my personal life, I am a dog mom, gardener, horseback rider, rock collecting, cake baking, dancing cis-gendered mother, advocate and ally.
My goal in our counselling relationship is to help shed light on your own strengths and empower you to become your fullest, truest self. Using a (w)holistic, person-centred, strength-based approach and with unconditional positive acceptance and respect, I am honoured to hold sacred space for your healing journey. I offer a variety of sessions, in person, on the phone, or online virtual.
If you think I could be a good match for you at this stage in your wellness reach out for a free consultation. I can direct bill to CVAP, Metis Society, WorkSafe, Firefighter and First Responders and Autism Service Providers (RASP).
