About Susan
She blends several therapy methods to match each person's needs rather than using one fixed approach. That can mean learning new ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, or finding actions that match personal values. Sessions emphasize clear goals and repetition so skills translate into everyday routines.
Over six years she has worked alongside people coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood challenges, anger, and issues tied to sexuality and gender. She has experience supporting veterans and people living with persistent mental health conditions and personality challenges. These experiences inform how she adapts tools for different life situations.
Susan aims to build an accepting, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about what they are facing. She often uses motivational conversations to help people find and keep momentum for change. She encourages modest, steady steps rather than sudden overhauls.
Her practice focuses on practical skills and personal values. People who want clear techniques and compassionate listening may find this approach helpful. To begin, she asks clients to share a bit about their struggles so sessions can start with realistic, relevant goals.
