She works in private practice in Calgary and as a visiting professional in remote and rural areas of Alberta and the North West Territories. She is also a psychological consultant with the Institute for Sexual Minority Health in Montréal, Québec. 

In addition to her work in transgender health, Ashleigh has a 20-year background in autism assessment, treatment, and research. She is a sessional instructor in the Educational Studies in School Psychology program at the University of Calgary and completed her PhD at the Autism Spectrum Research, Education, and Training (ASERT) laboratory there. Ashleigh’s dissertation research focused on centring the experiences and perspectives of transgender individuals living with autism to ensure that medical, mental health and research narratives amplify the voices of those with lived experience and first-person expertise. She is accountable to the trans and autistic communities.
