Hi there, I'm Suzanne!

I’m glad you’re here. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, explore what’s bringing you to therapy, and work together toward the changes that feel meaningful to you. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and I’ll meet you where you are.

My focus

I work with adults who may be having a difficult time with navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, difficult past experiences, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, grief, or patterns that no longer feel helpful. Together we can strengthen coping skills, boundaries and self-compassion toward oneself.

My approach

I take a compassionate, person-centered and or trauma-informed approach that recognizes the ways you have learned to cope and protect yourself throughout life. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, develop tools that support you, and work toward greater self-understanding, confidence, and connection. My goal is to walk alongside you.
