Hi there, I'm Susan!

I look at therapy as an opportunity to look at one's current thoughts and behaviors, appreciate what is working for you, and change what is not. I use an individualized approach and solution-focused approach, often integrating mindful awareness, cognitive behavior therapy, humanistic philosophy, and neuropsychology.

My focus

I specialize in working with clients facing relational issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, parenting support, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, and addiction.

My approach

I tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals. I often use cognitive behavioral techniques for anxiety and depression, and integrate neuropsychology and humanistic theory for trauma and relational issues. With couples, I use the Gottman approach as a starting point to explore communication and repair.
