About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. I hold a current LCSW license in Colorado and Arizona. During my career I have counseled a variety of clients in a variety of settings both in the US and Mexico. While I have experience in all areas of mental health, my most recent specialities are treating anxiety and stress, adults abused as children, the spectrum of mood disorders (depression and bi-polar), addiction, and chronic health issues. I have a collaborative, client centered approach. I offer a variety of interventions depending on your needs. My approach is focused on you, I take your lead but can nudge if I think it will be helpful. Clients tell me I am a mindful listener, compassionate, and engaging. I offer a flexible schedule with whatever mode of communication suits you best. In the first few sessions I always ask "how will you know counseling has been helpful?", "what will be different, what will you notice?". Then we can make goals from there. I respect you for asking for help. I will honor your time commitment and use our time efficiently and wisely. I look forward to working with you.

Reviews
I have only met with Susan two times, and already I feel like I’m starting to make logical connections in order to change and grow. She has heard me and understands what is going on at the core, and has very quickly helped me to figure it out too. I’m super grateful! .
She is a wonderful woman with a very kind and understanding heart. She really cares and it shows in how she talks, listens, and in how hard she tries to help. She is a great communicator and appears to love what she's doing.
I feel more connected to Susan via online interaction than I have my last two therapists after meeting in-person for months. She's insightful, engaging, and has given me a lot of great insight after only two video sessions. I really appreciate this connection and look forward to working together and where I can grow in the future!
I love Susan!!!
She’s very receptive to me and my family problems, and believe me, we have major drama and disfunction!!!
I have a bad habit of interrupting people, and I know she’ knows this, but I feel like she also knows that I need to just “get it out”... and even though I’m all over the place when I’m talking to her, she totally gets me...
She takes notes and remembers my family members names too!!!
She’s awesome and professional and knows how to deal with a wacko like me!!!
Susan has been very helpful and very respectful and supportive helping me through today.
Susan has very quickly got to the the root of my issues and is giving practical ways to help. She's exactly what I needed. I already think she's found ways to transform my life for the better.
