About me

I have more than 30 years of experience working with people from all walks of life. I am both honored and humbled that so many people have allowed me to work with them, and from them, I have grown personally and professionally in so many ways. I believe providing care that is sensitive and compassionate, while also working for solutions and/or resolutions that improve happiness and quality of life. I believe counseling is a team effort, but that you, the client, is the most important person on the team. I support client choices and self-determination while using evidence-based practices for best results!
Currently I live with my husband and 5 fur babies, enjoy my two children and four grandchilden, traveling, and my many hobbies!

Susanna authentically cares for her clients and communicates well from the actual sessions to making sure the scheduling is in place with ease. She is thoughtful, considerate, and caring. One of the best therapists I've had and her expertise in grief has deeply helped me navigate the twists and turns of grieving a person/people that are still alive but estranged. She is wonderful and a truly caring therapist.
