Susan’s warm and caring approach and active listening makes her easy to talk with. She slows down, explains her thoughts with examples and in multiple ways. She is sensitive to where I want to go, however is able to ask challenging questions to develop new perspectives. We have had a handful of sessions thus far and I look forward to our weeks ahead as I develop various goals and the explore ways to achieve them.
