You might be the strong one. Capable, high‑functioning, the one everyone leans on. But inside you feel anxious, wired, and tired of holding it all together. You overthink conversations, over‑give in relationships, and question yourself afterward. Maybe you reach for wine, food, or constant busyness just to take the edge off. You may have experienced trauma, grief, or a narcissistic relationship that shook your sense of safety. You want to feel calm, secure, and at home in yourself again, in your relationships, and in your body.
I help women, including LGBTQ+ women, untangle anxiety, attachment wounds, and unhealthy relationship patterns. I bring both professional training and lived experience. Alongside EMDR and nervous system work, I may incorporate targeted amino acid support to help you to feel stable, strong and supported on all levels.
I know what it means to rebuild after trauma, loss, and heartbreak. You are not too much. You are not broken. You deserve support that feels steady and real. If you are ready to stop surviving and start feeling strong in a grounded way, I would love to walk alongside you.

Together we explore the root of anxiety, attachment patterns, and coping behaviours. I use EMDR and mindfulness practices to process trauma and build steadiness. Where appropriate, I may include targeted amino acid support. I see healing as a mind, body, and spirited process that reconnects you with your intuition and inner strength.

What I love most about Susanne's approach to therapy is her ability to bring new and fresh perspectives to almost every situation. I have no hesitation in recommending her to clients that are experiencing anxiety. Highly recommended.

I use a curative approach in my practice, which means that we will explore and are often able to release the root cause of the issue. This will help you to gain control over emotional challenges and experiences. I often use EMDR for Trauma, Mindfulness Based Therapy in combination with Amino Therapy to support not only your mind but also your body as a whole system.
