Sue believes that happiness is determined less by your external environment and more by your internal world. She seeks to help clients develop agency over their minds and therefore cultivate happiness within their lives. Her specialties include chronic health conditions; depression, anxiety, and trauma; and couples therapy.

Chronic health conditions: Chronic illness, pain, injury, or concussion can feel like being a prisoner in your own body. But while you didn’t choose to experience health issues, you can choose how you meet these challenges. Sue strives to support clients in transforming their relationship with their chronic condition and rediscovering joy and freedom regardless of their current situation.

Depression, anxiety, and trauma: Numbing sadness that permeates your life like a cold fog. Stress and anxiety that buzz within your body like an electrical current. Agonizing memories that weigh you down like ankle shackles. Sue aims to assist clients in freeing themselves from their negative thoughts and emotions through a personalized approach that caters to their unique challenges.

Couples therapy: It’s not you versus your partner - it’s you and your partner versus the problem. Sue endeavors to aid couples in enhancing understanding and compassion, transforming behaviours and communication, and nurturing intimacy and friendship.

Sue’s unique psychotherapeutic method integrates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness with an empowering, skills-based, and customized approach.

She completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at Athabasca University and a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. She is currently a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

Sue connects with her clients through warmth, humour, empathy, and an excitement for personal growth. Clients of all ethnicities, cultures, religions, genders, sexual orientations, and walks of life are welcome.
