Master of Counselling Psychology, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Suzanne has worked for over two decades with children, families, couples and individuals. She specializes in marriage and family therapy and is also an approved provider for FNHA (First Nations Health Authority), and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) Direct Funding.
Her extensive training includes expressive therapies such as play and art. She works with trauma and abuse, anxiety, and parent-child attachment. She continues to work in child and youth mental health, trauma therapy, and couple’s therapy. She also counsels many young adults and their families as they navigate the transitions of “launching” and post-secondary growth.
Suzanne is passionate about creating safe, collaborative space to explore and resolve conflict, communication challenges, parenting and co-parenting struggles, trauma, stress, emptiness, loss and mental health needs. She strives to help others to find their voice, reset boundaries, become authentic, heal wounds, and grow again in relationships.
Her goal is to ensure clients come away with more knowledge, insight and practical tools to help them feel alive, hopeful and connected.
Suzanne moved to Kelowna 20-plus years ago after both big city and small-town life. She wants to bring her best self to all her relationships, especially as a parent and partner. Suzanne is keenly searching for a pup to share life’s adventures with.
When not helping others, Suzanne can be found getting distracted by good podcasts at the gym, learning humility on the soccer pitch, or, most likely, enjoying the trails and back roads of BC – hiking, snowshoeing and searching for treasures and ghost town artifacts.
