I’ve been working with Susan for over a year now. She is fantastic because she helps me to grow and understand things better. She is patient with me and my brain and helps us (my brain and me) to co-exist in a healthier relationship, all while addressing set backs along the way. I’d strongly recommend Susan.

Susan is very kind, gentle, and an excellent therapist. She checks up on me frequently and was able to accommodate my schedule and open up space for me when she’s fully booked. She has recommended books and worksheets that has helped me navigate through the challenges I faced. Thank you Susan for making me feel seen, heard, and giving me a safe space to process my thoughts (both positive and negative).
