Susan gets right to the root of things with a calming consensus, often accompanied by her sharply astute yet gentle perspectives, giving you the reassurance in yourself that you need to see tough things through with self reliance & empathy. She's the voice in your head you wish you were listening to, offering tidbits that you can carry with you through all things. Reiterating the positives as much as the reality of the situation, she's often lending my psyche the strength I wish I could muster on my own and enlightening me to the natural tools within me I already posses to surmount my own problems with tact & grace.
