As a licensed therapist in California with four decades of clinical experience, I specialize in treating individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and life transitions.
I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach that recognizes each person's unique journey. My expertise centers on helping clients work through depression, isolation, social anxiety, grief and loss, attachment challenges, and personal transformation. I have become especially attuned to supporting people in significant life transitions: new mothers; marital conflict and divorce; older adults and caregivers.
My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being. I believe in empowering individuals to rediscover their inner strength and reconnect with their sense of purpose. Therapy is most useful when the therapist has a well-developed capacity for empathy. I am an empathetic therapist who is able to approach the therapeutic work in a supportive and collaborative manner.
Through this collaborative, personalized care, I'm committed to walking with my clients as they navigate their most challenging emotional terrains with dignity and hope.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Body image, Caregiver issues and stress, Divorce and separation, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Mood disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Social anxiety and phobia

Susan is one of the best therapists I ever had the opportunity to talk to. Thank you for listening to me with an open heart, mind, and kindness. As I try to navigate the complexities of my life, I look forward to talking to her. Truly a breath of fresh air and someone I can depend on my corner who sees me.
