Hi there, I'm Susan!
I listen deeply to your needs and work collaboratively and non-judgmentally toward your goals. I enjoy working with motivated clients who want to be active participants in their treatment. I've helped clients with depression, bipolar disorders, all types of anxiety, trauma, grief, and adjustment to life changes.
My focus
I work with young adults and adults facing depressive and bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, dual diagnoses, medical illnesses, young adults getting started in life, people who identify as non-binary or on the LGBTQ spectrum, and various relationship issues. If I haven't mentioned your specific issue, please ask.
My approach
My approach varies depending on your needs. I teach CBT, DBT, trauma and mood regulation skills, self-care, and goal setting. With my background in the arts, we can incorporate writing, poetry, dance, or art into your treatment. I'm happy to teach mindfulness and self-compassion or help you get in touch with your feelings and body sensations.
