Life situations can often burden us leaving us feeling overwhelmed and hopeless which can contribute to increased anxiety and disturbance in sleeping patterns. My specialty revolves around individual and family systems therapy which includes a unique approach to couples therapy (marriage counseling), life transitions, children, adolesecents and family of origin issues. Through my continuing post graduate training I have developed a behavioral, relational, and psychdynamic psychotheraputic approach to assist in allivating these patterns by enhancing communication styles, negotiating skills and problem solving techniques.

“ Susan has changed my life for the better and could not be more grateful! She’s taken the time to listen and understand my worries and has discussed each part when I’ve been ready to do so. She has given me a different perspective on life has helped me form a bond back with my family and helped massively with my PTSD." “Working with Susan was an amazing experience.

She approaches your discussions/ situations with empathy open-mindedness that's warm and inviting."

Wires crossed? Having trouble communicating with a person/people you love the most? Does the end of the relationship seem imminent? Wait up - cosnsider counseling before cord cutting. My philosophy is to ‘leave no stone unturned.’ In couples/family therapy HEALTHY communication in high conflict situations IS crucial. Family work is artfully dynamic - a science & skill. I’m proficient in both, working objectively with family members (individually &/or as a unit). This allows each person to safely express unmet needs. Being kind & respectful toward each other (I teach that too), is an important non-negotiable…whatever the outcome.

Finding the right fit for a therapist is so important. You want someone you can trust, open up to about things you would never tell family or friends, and someone who can offer you some useful strategies and feedback. I am an interactive therapist. This means, I will not just sit there and have you talk for 50 minutes without any interactive feedback. Being an interactive therapist, we are having a conversation so there is give and take. I will ask you questions and perspective about what is going on for you that maybe you didn’t think about before. Collaboration is huge! I am not the expert on you. You are.
