Therapy for High-Functioning Anxious Women & Couples
Hi, I'm Ashley
(she/her)
If you’ve ever wondered “Why am I like this?” especially when it comes to anxiety, relationships, or always feeling responsible for others—you're in the right place. Understanding the root of your patterns is the key to healing them. When you discover why you think, feel, and react the way you do, everything starts to change.
Imagine a life where anxiety no longer runs the show, you feel deeply worthy, and your relationships feel safe, connected, and fulfilling.
When you're ready, therapy becomes the place where we unlock that version of you.
Here are some ways that I stay sharp as a therapist:
- continued education to increase cultural safety when working with Indigenous Peoples
- learning ways to queer my practice to improve LGBTQ2S+ friendliness
- annual conferences & continued specialized training
I reside on the unceded ancestral territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking people & Sḵwx̱wú7mesh first nations that was not surrendered. Land acknowledgement is not enough, we must raise others up and provide accessible services with cultural humility.
I am a registered provider for ICBC, FNHA and CVAP.
Therapy that goes beyond coping skills
I specialize in de-mystifying anxiety and relationship patterns by helping you understand the beliefs, experiences, and nervous system responses that created them. When you can see the story beneath the symptoms, healing becomes not only possible, but sustainable.
I integrate:
-
Adlerian Therapy to uncover the root of self-worth issues and belief systems
-
EMDR & Lifespan Integration to process emotional experiences stored in the body
-
Attachment- and insight-based therapy to help you build secure relationships with others and with yourself
-
Mindfulness and CBT tools to give you practical strategies for daily life
This is not therapy where you just talk about stress and logoff.
This is therapy designed to help you feel different, not just think differently.
credentials & training
I've been where you're at, and I understand the struggle.
“As a therapist, I’m dedicated to helping millennials live better lives.”
In my early 20s, anxiety began taking over my life. I was high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed inside. Counselling helped me understand myself in a way I never had before. It gave me tools, insight, and relief I could not access on my own.
I became a therapist to help people like me and like you—deep thinkers, sensitive high-achievers, people who care deeply and feel deeply—to finally find peace in their minds, bodies, and relationships.
I get what it’s like to feel anxious, to carry the emotional load, and to keep striving for balance. And I know that healing is possible with the right support and the right approach. Your therapy will be tailored to your needs and goals, ensuring a bespoke counselling experience.
Clients who work with me report feeling more in touch with themselves, have more satisfying relationships, set boundaries without worrying about pleasing others, and feel more empowered.
We don't have to do all of it alone.
We were never meant to.
