About Me

Hi I'm Suki, thanks for connecting. I have been a therapist for the past 6 years in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver and have worked in the mental health field for 11 years.

Empowering you to embrace your unique journey is my goal. I meet you where you are, honour your individuality and help you navigate your path forward. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, career exploration, relationship issues, or simply a desire for personal growth, our sessions will be tailored to your specific needs. Let's create a therapeutic non-judgmental space where authenticity thrives. Trust, compassion, honesty & some humor is what I hope to foster in our space together.

I have worked with a multitude of individuals from many walks of life, and have been grateful to walk along side them through their counselling journey. A motto I embrace is that I am a human first, therapist second. When I am not working, I can be found with my dog Hershey, attending spin classes, travelling, and watching reality TV.

How I Can Help:

• Creating a safe & relaxed place for curiosity and exploration. Let’s face it, starting therapy can be overwhelming. I aim to create a space that is warm and inviting, and has a bit of laughter.

• Building a strong relationship. This is key in having trust, and not feeling judged, when discussing parts of ourselves we may have never explored.

• Providing tangible tools to practice outside of session. I want to ensure holistic care when you are not in session, this involves some informal practice outside our 50 minute sessions together.

• Trauma informed care and education. The lens I view therapy from is rooted in information, permission, and consent. I ask for guidance and permission from you through our journey and provide education & rational as to why we are doing what we are doing.

• Personability and transparency. I value transparency and this starts with myself, I do pull from my own experiences and life story to create human to human connection. If I’m not familiar with something, I value learning along side you.

I am trained in ACT, CBT, Brainspotting, EMDR, and trauma-informed practices. Also, I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT), helping partners strengthen their bonds, overcome challenges, and reconnect.
