Three words that describe my style are:
Creative, Open-Minded, Passionate
Something unique about my approach is:
I have a diverse background working in many environments and with many populations. Plus, I utilize my experiences, personally and professionally, to engage clients to begin their healing journeys. I am direct and compassionate and my goal is to develop a unique treatment plan that fits your healing style and pace.
Together we will explore:
Steps for Healing, Personal Inventories, Actions to Support Recovery, and Connections to Resources.
I specialize in working with people who:
Are willing and desire change, despite it being hard to confront! and individuals that are open to exploring their role within their relationships. I can show you how to walk through grief, pain, depression with grace, integrity, humility and be a better person for embracing change.
I became a therapist because:
I have always been fascinated by others and their thinking and behaviors. The ability to impact change within personal lives is a privilege.
Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:
Teletherapy allows you to be in the comfort of your own home and offers flexibility in scheduling.
When I’m not at work, I like to:
Exercise (training for a full marathon), cooking, taking "Day Trips" and hanging out with friends, family and pets and creative outlets (writing, podcasts, community projects).
More about me:
I have over 20 years experience in the Mental Health field. I "walk the walk" when talking about change.

I’ve been working with Susan for a few weeks now, and it’s been a great experience so far. We have good, focused dialogue, there’s a healthy grounding of mutual respect, she closely listens to my needs, checks in on how I’m doing, and she also keeps me accountable to my goals. Thank you Susan!

Susan is incredibly kind and thoughtful. I feel like she is very proactive when it comes to helping me figure out certain issues I'm having. I feel listened to and seen and that is really important to me. I am super excited and eager to continue working with her!
