Meet Susie –

In a collaborative, grounding, and empathetic manner, she facilitates soulful growth for clients navigating overwhelm and change. Her care is strong yet gentle, focussed yet fluid, stemming from an experiential and relational framework. She is client-centred and trauma-informed in her approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. Susie is in good-standing as a professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association with Canadian Certified Counsellor designation (CCPA-C.C.C.).

Inspired by the space derived from existential-phenomenology, Susie connects her past cognitive behavioural work with narrative and internal family systems modalities, often drawing on acceptance and commitment therapy. She gravitates to emotion-focused care with somatic and polyvagal theory influences. Susie is Gottman Method Couples Therapy – Level 1 certified and Treating Affairs and Trauma certified.
