I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in in California with over 10 years of experience working in clinical practice. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, adult child issues, their own mature adult challenges, and retirement.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life as an older adult and to take the steps needed for still more changes in our lives. If you are ready to take those steps, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
Additional areas of focus: Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Forgiveness, Isolation / loneliness, Self-love, Social anxiety and phobia

Susan has been very helpful to nail down points. We are still trying to decipher few things to get to the bottom of the issue. She is navigating the issues well.

Susan is compassionate and caring. She listens and connects with me. I feel comfortable sharing my issues with her and I leave the sessions feeling we’ve accomplished a constructive discussion, she’s heard me out and replied with good insight.
