Susan works with individuals from all walks of life who may embrace a range of mental health needs. She recognizes that each individual may need to seek therapy for a number of reasons, such as receiving support during tremendous transitions in life; to face and endure new challenges; or even to deal with the difficulties that one may encounter. Susan believes that every individual has the innate capacity to cope with the challenges that life offers, but it can be difficult to access these abilities from the experiences that each of us have had before.

To suffer is human – but to grow and heal is also human. In life, you might experience stress, anxiety, self-criticism, anger, difficult transitions or relationships, chronic pain/health issues, trauma, sleep disturbance, and other challenges. Sometimes, you might feel so stuck or overwhelmed that your usual coping tools are not quite enough. It can be helpful to seek support from a professional who empowers you to overcome life’s challenges by helping you tap into your inner resources and develop new ones. I am a therapist with several years of experience offering such support.

Welcome to this space of healing and growth! It takes courage to open up and take this first step towards positive change, and I’m excited to be a part of your journey. Together, we will explore what’s on your mind and heart. Whether you want to work through past experiences or current challenges, break free from negative patterns, or simply find more joy and fulfillment in your everyday life, I am here to provide the support and guidance you need to make it happen. Drawing from eight years of experience in social work, I bring a depth of understanding and compassion to our therapeutic work together.

Do you wish things were different? I work with diverse clients facing life's transitions and challenges. My theoretical framework is relational, using both talk therapy and/or creative/expressive arts modalities. Following your lead, I listen/witness and attune carefully in order to attend to your specific need. We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome. Although I work flexibly between short term talk therapy (psychodynamic psychotherapy) and expressive/creative arts, we safely build our relationship, while co-creating in our therapeutic studio space.

If you are experiencing struggles and seeking support, you are not alone. Loss, trauma, conflict, life changes, emotional and mental suffering do not discriminate. Any one of us can go through periods full of difficulties - some more than others, but every person has personal knowledge of suffering in their lives. Therapy is not easy and there is no quick fix, but I am here to work with you, hear and understand you, and support your self-discovery process. I want to learn about your story, path and beliefs, and together with you identify areas where you have strengths and areas where you need to explore and try new ways of being.

In our lives, we often find ourselves stuck. We find it difficult to stop thinking, feeling, or behaving in ways that are no longer useful. Our interpretations of past experiences, beliefs about ourselves, others and the world, can sometimes hold us back from enjoying the present and imagining a better future. We want things to change but are uncertain how to change them. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path. As a psychotherapist, I help facilitate your journey and guide you towards your personal goals by empowering you to remove emotional and psychological roadblocks.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I work with adults and teens who come to me with a variety of challenges. They may be struggling to cope with grief and loss, or are feeling confused about a relationship, or are finding anxiety increasingly hard to manage. I work with folks to bring patterns to light while building new ways of being in relationship to others and feelings together. I love working with feelings - and the people who have them. Whether your feelings are big, bold, and out loud, or you're struggling to articulate or find them, I am glad to sit with you and explore them together.

I am an individual and couple therapist who is dedicated to examining emotional wounds and creating meaningful connection. I support a variety of clients, but primarily focus on those wanting to explore anxiety, family dynamics, relational issues, attachment, boundaries, communication, emotional expression, personal growth, and stress. I strive to understand the interlocking factors that may be influencing and impacting your ability to be the best version of yourself.

I would like to offer you my appreciation on how important the step you are giving right now is. Finding a psychotherapist can be daunting or disconcerting at first but the impulse that brought you here means you want things to be different, right? Maybe with less anxiety, less suffering or less loneliness. Maybe with more space to be who you are and experience more easiness to relate to others. Past traumas, being raised in non-attuned contexts and any form of oppression impose ruptures to the dialog between us and others and the internal parts of ourselves. These cracks generate conflicts, suffering, shame, and a self-alienation.

I identify as a cis-gender, racialized Asian woman whose approach embraces a wholistic, reflective, equity-seeking, anti-oppressive/anti-racist decolonized lens. It's been an honour to be welcomed into many diverse communities through 20+ years in education, support and case management with racialized communities, gender diverse individuals, Indigenous peoples, people living with HIV/AIDS, newcomer populations, people who use substances, as well as sexual trauma survivors. The evolution of my practice includes a metaphysical component that acknowledges the interplay of mind/body/spirit

I’m a member of the Ontario Bar with 10 years of prior legal experience before I became a counsellor and therapist, and if you happen to be a “recovering lawyer” or seeking to become one, I can help!

My ultimate goal is to increase your well-being and life satisfaction by helping you understand what is standing in the way of your happiness. I work with individuals who struggle with relationship issues, anxiety, low self esteem, post-traumatic stress and anger management issues.
