Susan is a thoughtful and insightful therapist with a deep understanding of relationships. She doesn’t shy away from difficult truths or enable unhelpful patterns. Instead, she offers honest, empathetic guidance and knows how to challenge you in a supportive way. Her approach has been incredibly helpful to me as I work through the challenges of separation and divorce.

Meeting Susan is a gift and I'm so thankful. She has the natural ease of a therapist, friend, ally, and advocate all in one. There was not a single session I didn't learn something valuable from her. I highly recommend working with her as she will meet you where you're at in your life and provide the safe space you're looking for.
