I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals heal from heartbreak, narcissistic abuse, family conflict, grief, trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. My work focuses on identifying and healing the deeper causes of emotional distress, not just managing symptoms.

Susan Lane has given me just what i need. I’ve been working through a divorce after 30 years, my mother passing and also the loss my furry friend. She has a style that requires real work on my part and I have been very willing to put the time in. The results have been very noticeable to my friends, family and myself. I am grateful to have found such a good fit for me. Still have work to do but I’ve come a long way. If you are willing to dig deep and follow her program, Susan Lane should be strongly considered.
