Suzanne has spent her career working in the spaces where life gets genuinely hard. Before founding Mindful Balance, she worked in child protection for over a decade, sitting with families navigating abuse, domestic violence, and the kind of pain that doesn't come with easy answers. That work taught her something she carries into every session: people are more resilient than they often believe, and the right support at the right time makes an extraordinary difference.

​

Suzanne works with individuals, couples, and families across Ontario and the United States. She has advanced training in EMDR, one of the most well-researched treatments for trauma, alongside specialties in couples and family therapy, sex therapy, and high conflict custody/access. But more than any technique, what clients say they notice most is that she is genuinely in their corner. Direct when they need honesty. Patient when they need time.

​

She is particularly passionate about working with adults who've been carrying something heavy for a long time and are finally ready to put it down, whether that's the aftermath of trauma, a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall, or a version of themselves they're ready to move on from.
