Finding Joy Therapy

‘What iffing’ can take us to dark places.
💜 this reminder from

‘what if’ narratives can feel compelling (‘true’). But they focus on only a tiny aspect of much bigger narratives.

I like to respond with ‘AND…’ It’s a reminder to pull in more of the story:
…and, I’m prepared;
…and, I’ve managed this in the past;
…and, I am safe in this moment
…and I have good people who love me.

Hi, I'm Susan. Welcome to Finding Joy Therapy!

I'm a Social Worker and Psychotherapist working with people across Ontario who are experiencing , , stress, and workplace stress, among other things.

My goal is to make difficult conversations feel comfortable... even joyful! Like talking about feeling burned out as a caregiver, or when anxiety is getting in the way of your relationships, or that anger is showing up during grief.

Part of my love of counselling comes from learning to find the right supports for my own struggles. My work as a community social worker, health care researcher and teacher also shape my approach.

In my practice, your agenda is the priority. I will hold space for you to explore what’s creating distress, help you find fresh perspectives, and share evidence-based tools.

Not sure if this is the right place for you? I offer free phone consultations. Just click the link in my bio, or email me at [email protected]
