Registered Psychotherapist (Qual), MA

​

My name is Ainsley and I am a registered psychotherapist qualifying. I completed a bachelor of science with a minor in psychology at McMaster University and proceeded to obtain a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I have been working in the area of mental health and addiction for over 5 years starting with a volunteer position on a crisis line and continued work in the area of addiction.

I have over a year’s worth of experience providing direct therapy to people with a variety of presentations including anxiety and depression to situational crisis and suicidal ideation. My process is based on person-centered therapy with a focus on non-judgmental acceptance and support. I will work with you and your specific goals in a way and at a pace that meets your unique needs. Within this framework I use several evidence-based techniques including, mindfulness, solution focused and CBT skills.
