My name is Susan, and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) in good standing with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I provide trauma-informed, personalized care, including Brainspotting, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, low self-esteem, life transitions, and the effects of challenging relationships.

I am passionate about the collaborative therapeutic relationship and how early experiences and relational patterns shape the way we understand ourselves and connect with others. My approach is holistic and humanistic, drawing from Narrative Therapy, IFS, ACT, and strengths-based practices to meet each person’s unique needs. Brainspotting allows me to help clients access and release deep-seated patterns safely and effectively, often accelerating insight and emotional healing in ways that traditional talk therapy alone may not.

A little more about me:

My heart belongs to my wonderful family. I’m blessed with an incredible husband and two amazing children who make me proud every day. We also share our home with a silly cat who loves chewing cords (and ambushing feet in bed), and a golden retriever who brings endless cuddles, calm, and joy.

Fun facts: I enjoy playing piano and guitar (mostly when no one is listening), practicing yoga and Pilates, and I always make time for my weekly spin class. I have a fear of heights and flying (though I do my best to power through when needed). Reading on my Kindle helps me unwind at bedtime, and my go-to treat is a Starbucks sweet cream vanilla cold brew.
