About

Sue is passionate about people, believing that each person has a unique set of abilities and talents that can be discovered and nurtured. Thus enhancing their daily personal functioning and wellbeing. Her aim is not to solve a person’s problem but to assist a person in discovering their own strengths and developing  coping mechanisms that work for them. I believe in creating authentic connections with each person providing a safe, trusting, non-judgmental space where you can be your true self. Together on this journey, we discover tools and self-understanding that assist with self-empowerment developing strategies to overcome adverse situations and challenges that may seem impossible or unbearable.
