My practice is full at this time. I am only taking names for waitlist. I work mostly with women and children so that they can move forward with their lives. Healing occurs when we address the whole person - mind, spirit, body and emotions - because these elements don't work in isolation. My graduate training focused on family systems work, and to that I have added numerous post-graduate trainings that enrich my practice, and thus my ability to help you. I have also worked extensively in the First Nations community for over 20 years in the Cowichan Valley and the North Island - I’m an approved FNHA counsellor.

Thanks for looking to me as your prospective psychotherapist. I wish it were otherwise, but suffering is intrinsic to life. However, adversity can deepen our resolve to live more consciously. What unexamined core beliefs have you living below your potential? Together, we'll make sense of 'protective' defenses that are sabotaging your deepest aspirations. We'll develop strategies and insights against overwhelm and discouragement. Instead of relying upon outer authority, we will access your innate wisdom. I'll support you in taking decisive action to live your singular life with greater courage, purpose and meaning.

*Unfortunately I am not taking new clients at this time.* Updated August 12, 2020 Hello and welcome. Congratulations for having the courage and strength to seek support for your mental wellness.

This safe space offers an opportunity to heal and learn new coping tools for handling their relationships, and the effects of trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Hi. I’m Suzan and I’m so excited you found my page. Whether you are someone looking for help with issues around eating or with your relationship, I can help. I work with individuals who are struggling with body image and/or an eating disorder. With therapy you can heal and make peace with food and your body. Recovery is possible. I also work with couples who somewhere along the way, lost connection. You may be noticing you don't laugh or have fun anymore. You may be having the same fight over and over again. The good news is that it's repairable. Couple counselling can be the key to getting things back on track.

My work is primarily with those who have experienced trauma - the experience of being emotionally and psychologically overwhelmed by adverse childhood experiences and adult traumatic events. My focus is always on the present - how can those debilitated by anxiety, shame, and poor self-worth become healthy enough to meet their own needs for income, housing, positive and affirming relationships, and physical and mental wellness.

Feeling isolated, alone or confused? Overwhelmed with your thoughts, feelings or behaviours? Concerned about your child or youth? I can offer support and guidance in all areas of life, love and loss. I am a Registered Art Therapist and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor whose area of concentration includes working with people of all ages who have experienced trauma and violence; grief and loss; anxiety and depression; and any individual that is seeking support towards personal transformation and growth.

The clients I treat are adults who may be dealing with things such as anxiety, PTSD, trauma, family of origin issues, relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, life decisions, career challenges, life and workplace stress. I see clients wanting to overcome a personal challenge to be able to feel more free and alive to pursue a healthier and less stressful life. I also see couples wanting to improve their relationship skills and reduce conflict.

I help women find trust, safety, pleasure in the body. You may wish for a kinder relationship with your body. Crave more confidence? You may be longing to feel more fulfilled in your intimate relationship. We often hang many hopes on our romantic relationships, yet few of us commit to the work it takes to grow in our inner capacity for love. Jung believed that the work of individuation was symbolized by the harmony of masculine and feminine aspects within. When we realize that love is not what we think it is, we see that our relationship histories hold markers of an internal journey and we find a freedom to choose a new way forward.

Life often throws us into challenging situations where we feel overwhelmed, stuck and needing a fresh perspective. I feel that all clients have the ability and will to move toward emotional wellness and change with good support. I use a strength-based therapy to provide services for a person-centered approach. Being an amputee, I come from a place of compassion and support for individuals and their families working through life transitions to create a "new normal". I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
