About me

Thank you for beginning this journey with me. I am a seasoned therapist with over 30 years of experience in helping clients learn to better manage stress, depression, and anxiety as well as coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment goals to meet your unique and specific needs. Together we will develop coping skills to help you best manage/ sustain better outcomes in your life. We will also work on helping you have a better understanding of who you are and who you want to be.

It takes courage to seek out and commit to a more fulfilling and happier life . It means taking the first steps towards a change. This is both scary but also courageous and inspiring. I am here to support , empower and guide you in that journey. Together we will help you achieve your desired goals.

It is my hope that you will enter this process with openness and present your authentic self in our sessions. This may be daunting initially but know you are in a safe space that is judgement free and supportive.

It is my genuine hope that you will embark on a therapeutic path that will offer you a renewed sense of understanding , self-appreciation, and some level of satisfaction in your life.

Welcome! I look forward to our work together.

Susan is one of the best therapist I have had in my 15+ years of therapy. She is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. I highly recommend her!! ♥️

Susan is an excellen Therapist. She is kind and maks me feel at ease and Icould immediately trust her. She is a great listener. She guided me in facing and understanding my emotions and their origin, making me aware of what triggerd them and helping me detach from the facts that caused them. She offered me excellent solutions to deal with those emotions so that it would be easier from me to overcome them and let them go. In the process of my therapy with Susan I have changed for the better and I can smile again now. I highly recommend her.

Susan is extremely empathetic, wonderful listener and a true guide , I would say she has a commendable strength of attaining insight into a person’s thought . Loved being under her compassionate guidance . Will definitely refer her to everyone and would come back to her if I ever need her again in my life.

Very helpful! I was going through difficult family and interpersonal issues. I’ve had therapy in the past, which I realize now may have taken longer than it should because theu were trying to have me come up with my own insights, which is hard to do. Susan is great in that she gives great insight, identifying things quicker and offering “tough love” solutions and tools that may be difficult to hear, but I felt better after one session.
