Hello!
I am a compassionate and honest therapist looking to help in whatever way necessary to improve your overall quality of life. My years of experience as a teacher and licensed therapist serve me well when tackling a variety of issues. I have extensive experience in addressing addiction problems and am licensed in the State of Ohio as an LICDC. Currently, I am also licensed in Ohio as an LPCC with over 11 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. My counseling experience includes working with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems and unresolved grief. Furthermore, I have years' experience and specialized training in working with victims of trauma (PTSD).
My counseling style is compassionate and interactive - with a touch of humor as well! I treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. My counseling approach is completely JUDGMENT FREE!
Thank you for reading my profile. I hope we can work together in the near future. Remember - nothing is ever going to change or improve - until you take that first step towards getting help! Let's talk!

Susan has been a real blessing! She listens attentively, without judgement. She offers very helpful suggestions and realistic goals and understands my pace. Sometimes the suggestions are practical things I can do, other times it may be a worksheet or an article to read. All of this has greatly helped me to have a healthier view of myself and my relationships. I highly recommend Susan!

Susan has been the absolute definition of an angel. I was in a bad place about my own self confidence and belief in myself. Susan listened to my entire story, got to know me and discussed every thing that happened. She helped me restore and gain a lot of confidence in myself and I am in a much better place compared to when I first met her. I will be recommending her as a therapist to anyone that I know who is in need of one.

Susan has been a life saver. I came to betterhelp looking to gain some perspective on how to get myself back on track mentally. The stresses of work, being a mom and being a committed relationship were taking a toll. Susan was perfect as she help me set goals, held me accountable and was beyond understanding of my situation. I appreciate her ability to cut through the fluff and give perspective. It was beyond helpful and exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend her!
