Hi there, I'm Susan!

Life can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, overcome personal obstacles, and create meaningful change. Using an eclectic approach, I tailor each session to your unique needs, believing that growth happens through exploration and connection.

My focus

I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, PTSD, trauma, addiction, and family of origin issues. Whether you're seeking support for past experiences or navigating life's transitions, I provide a compassionate space to help you gain clarity and healing.

My approach

I tailor my therapeutic approach to fit your unique needs, drawing from Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques. By blending these methods, I help you gain insight, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful change. Our work together will be guided by what works best for you.
