I sought a therapist out initially to help me navigate and prepare for living donor kidney donation. Because there is a fear of the unknown. I wanted to make sure my emotions were in check throughout the process, --before, during healing, after. Emotions can be complex, especially with this unique situation. But, Susan rooted for me all the way! My recipeint and I also had to learn to navigate our relationship and new normal....Susan made that effortless, including any additional challenges. I absolutely love that she is an active listener, empathetic, uses her knowledge to & gives suggestions, and ways to tackle obstacles, problems, and relationships. She has a great sense of humor, and really understands. Life can be hard. Adulting can be even harder, but having a great resources and learning skills (to cope, manage, prepare,etc) makes life better!....So you are better equipped and prepared how to take on your day! You won't be disappointed. Her expertise in several issues and specialities shows. Susan is passionate about her profession, in helping others, and is happy to see others succeed.

Susan is a great listener. She takes good notes and gives good feedback. She is a good communicator and always messages me with my goals after our sessions. She is the one person I can count on while I unravel my past and present trauma, because she is well versed in her field and shows an incredible amount of empathy and compassion, while also being direct and realistic about next steps. I am seeking solutions, and she helps me talk through what is possible for me as a good guide should. I wish there had been more like her in my life.

Susan has been so helpful and amazing to work with! I started with her over a year ago and it was my first experience with any kind of therapy and I've seen a huge improvement in my life since then. It has taken work and effort, but Susan has been extremely supportive and has helped me look at things in a new simpler way. She knows what my goals are and she has helped me find ways that work for me on how to reach them. She has such a great perspective that always gives me clarity when I come to her with my questions or just need to vent. I'm so glad that I get to work with her!

Susan is very intuitive and quick thinking. Easy to talk to and truly listens. Due to her impressive resume and years of experience she understands my problems and issues without me even having to explain them in crazy depth. It’s refreshing to feel understood without having to overly explain myself. I highly recommend Susan as a seasoned therapist and expert in her field. It’s nice to have someone who probably has “heard it all” and is open minded enough to offer multiple solutions to ones problems and issues.
