A note from Susan…

I am interested to work with individuals and families to strengthen interpersonal skills, and develop stronger relationships to navigate life challenges and identifying a path forward. Together you can expect to identify goals, strategies and resources within to support moving forward.

My background includes over 17 years in healthcare in a variety of roles within public health and Addiction and Mental Health. I am currently completing my Master of Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University, set to graduate in Fall 2025.

As a mother of two energetic pre-teens, we enjoy family adventures, cooking, and a bit of playful pranking. Outside of work, I love running, hiking, and connecting with nature.
