Meet Your Psychotherapist
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.
Expert EMDR-PRECI Therapy,
Right at Your Fingertips.
The Haven and Embolden Mental Health & Psychotherapy have partnered to bring you expert-led trauma care. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Early EMDR Intervention our Critical Incident Virtual House provides Public Safety Personnel and Military Members with structured, effective support after critical incidents. By using EEI we strive to support the opportunity to reduce associative connections to recent traumas, which may prevent the accumulation of traumatic memories.
