As a licensed therapist in Minnesota, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma with compassionate, personalized care. I have extensive experience working with older adults and supporting individuals through life transitions, including divorce, separation, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach centers on building self-love, improving communication, and addressing feelings of isolation and social anxiety. I understand the profound impact of mood disorders, personality challenges, and past experiences on one's emotional well-being. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.
I am committed to helping individuals work through guilt, shame, and complex emotional patterns, offering guidance that honors each person's unique journey toward healing and self-understanding. Together, we can develop strategies to strengthen emotional health and create positive, sustainable change.

My first session with Susan was really good. She was supportive, cared, and listened. It is really good to have someone with a neutral mindset to help unpack feelings and thoughts.
