Hello and welcome! My name is Susan, a Certified Canadian Counsellor, and also a Professional Christian Counsellor. With specialized training in EMDR Therapy, I am well equipped to address a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, inter-generational wounds, family of origin issues, past trauma, and complex PTSD.
You deserve to be seen, heard, and validated on your unique journey of healing and growth. As a therapist, I am here to offer you a compassionate heart, and deep listening, guiding you toward discovering your authentic self and unleasing your inner strengths. We were never meant to navigate hard seasons on our own; therapy provides a safe space to heal and find the way to living your life as it's meant to be. My Counselling Style
My approach to counselling significantly shapes how I engage with my clients. I place a strong emphasis on cultivating a genuine connection with my clients. I believe that building a strong connection with my clients is key to making our time together meaningful.
I'm a big believer in the power of thoughts, behaviours, and emotions working together to bring about positive change. I use all sorts of techniques and counselling approaches to make this happen. I choose based on what I think would vibe well with my client's personality and the issues they're dealing with. You might catch me using narrative, cognitive-behavioural, emotionally-focused therapy, or EMDR approaches- whatever feels right for the unique situation we’re working through.
Therapy is to heal not a quick fix
I truly love the work I do as a therapist because one of the best things I get to do is help people find healing and hope in the hardest times of their lives. Clients also find me authentic, nonjudgmental, warm and easy to talk to. No matter the challenges life presents, we can work through together within a safe space. With professional training and real-life experiences, I have cultivated compassion and am equipped to understand better the clients who walk through my door. I’ve witnessed many transformative changes in the lives of the clients I’ve had the privilege to work with. I am gently inviting you to embark on your own journey of healing.
