Suki has always been passionate about helping others and hearing people’s stories. Resilience of individuals is what keeps her passionate about being a clinician. Counselling was a natural fit as she knew the power that it has in helping people be more connected with themselves. Suki understands the importance of self work and the support that is necessary to reach those goals. When working with her you will notice the integrative approach she takes. A “one size fits all” approach is not the stance she takes and understands the counselling journey is unique to everyone. Rather, she ensures the foundation of the work is a safe connection rooted in transparency and non judgment. Curiosity, compassion, and empathy are key components in her work and integral in creating support for individuals. She has a laid back approach to make counselling more welcoming and comfortable. She also ensures the space is safe from a cultural lens as well as having years of knowledge in supporting members of the LGTBQIA+ community.
She utilizes different approaches to meet the needs of the client. These modalities include, ACT, CBT, somatic work, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Suki is also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). Continued education and self work are a foundation for her work and she understands the need for a therapist to continue on in their own counselling journey as a necessary component of their job. Suki is currently pursuing training in hypnosis as an extra tool to offer clients. Her person centered approach helps create congruency in goal setting and meeting the needs of the client.
