About me

Hi ! Welcome to BetterHelp. I have been working at BetterHelp for the past 3 years providing individual mental health counseling. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor. I am grateful to say that I have worked in the field of mental health and addiction for 25 years, providing individual and group therapy. My approach to therapy is eclectic using models such as: Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness. I have also worked with family members and friends of people struggling with addiction and mental illness offering assistance with issue of codependency, communication and trauma.

In our sessions I will be vigilant in providing a supportive environment to explore your concerns, your goals and possible solutions. I believe in offering education on learning and using healthy coping skills. It can be fearful reaching out for help however learning about yourself with guidance is exciting and worth it.

I am looking forward to us working together!

Susan is a wonderful therapist. She is wise, compassionate and honest. I learned so much from her about healthy communication and setting boundaries for myself. I’m very grateful for the work we did together!
