About me

Hello, my name is Susan. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, where I have worked in the mental health community for 20 years. I have experience helping a wide range of clients and families with a wide variety of issues to include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues and trauma of abuse, Bipolar Disorder and ADHD.

As a therapist, I prefer to use a client-centered approach to treatment because I believe clients need to be heard and listened to at a deep level. This allows them to hear themselves undeniable them to resolve their pain and reach of real healing. I am able to effectively and seamlessly incorporate cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-based therapy, grief therapy, parenting education throughout our sessions, based on your goals. Your unique needs are of the highest importance in the therapy relationship. I will keep us focused on practical solutions and lasting change.

You are brave to reach out for help! You have taken the right first step to healing. I welcome the opportunity to work with you. I would be honored to be your guide through your healing process.

Susan is an incredible therapist and the consummate professional. She cares about her clients and that’s evident in how she approaches each interaction. I would recommend Susan for anyone seeking mental health treatment or counseling without hesitation. Additionally, BetterHelps platform allows remote access and flexibility to participate.
