It's a hard decision to start therapy. Committing to yourself is a big deal particularly when time feels so limited by life's demands. At times we find ourselves so stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, and/or anxious. It's not easy to consider taking time out for ourselves. If you are ready for therapy, whether it be a life transition, stress, relationship issues, and/or anxiety; consider an approach that evaluates all aspects of your life. Collaborating together, I offer comprehensive therapy with years of experience and fresh evidence based preservatives.

Are you a parent of a struggling TEEN who needs support or an ADULT who feels stuck and unsure of your path? I can help! I never forgot what it is like to be a teen, and I am pretty sure I am now an adult who also knows grief, anxiety, and depression. I understand what it is like to be out of the box and find a place in the world. I, too, feel I am out of the box, as are my techniques. I believe laughter should find its place even in the darkest places and weave humor wherever it may fit. I am also well versed in all methods, such as CBT, DBT, ACT, etc., but the connection between therapist and client is essential for growth.

Choosing a therapist is a difficult decision. Instead of telling you how I work, I decided to ask some of my patients to describe it in their words. "Susan is so down to earth that I feel like I'm talking to a good friend." "She really cares about her patients." "She makes it easy to talk about things that are very difficult to say out loud." "She is non-judgemental, kind, intelligent and professional." "After working with Susan my life is now moving in a positive direction." "Most importantly she has helped me to parlay the skills we've worked on into my life."

I value building a strong therapeutic relationship and providing a non-judgmental, empathetic, and safe space in which you might explore the problems and stressors in your life. My goal as your therapist is to help identify what prevents you from feeling good and accomplishing your goals, and finding ways to address these difficulties. Together, we can identify and nurture your strengths, and find hope and peace and change within suffering.

I get it. You've been wanting to make a change for a while, but it's exhausting just to think about taking on another thing. It's a chore just to manage all the day to day stuff of work and family and making everything run smoothly; much less eating healthy, going to the gym, working on relationships, AND going to regular therapy sessions! It's a spiral that's so easy to get lost in and it's hard to find a foothold to steady yourself and find a way out. Therapy CAN offer that foothold; some guidance to help figure out how to feel peaceful and content with your life, and have the energy to do things that make you feel fulfilled.

I specialize in kids and teens who are typically described as the "wallflower," who may not be getting the social nourishment they desire, but also don't know where or how to start. The kids and teens I work with struggle with social anxiety and self esteem issues. My clients learn how to become more self fulfilled, gain more confidence around peers, express themselves better at home with their family, and grow socially. I also offer parent sessions and family sessions for families who feel like they need the extra support for their child or adolescent.

I specialize in helping couples and individuals develop "connection" in their marriages and relationships. To illustrate, your partner seems "distant" lately- so you seek reassurance. Instead of providing comfort, he or she "pulls away" in anticipation of triggering an argument. In turn, your insecurity grows yet bigger. Over time, the more one mate seeks "closeness," the more the other "distances." Partners become "stuck" in painful "circles" such as "Pursue-Withdraw." Both are hurt by each others "criticism" or "coldness"- and unintentionally trigger their mates' invisible "raw spots." Even if identified, "vulnerabilities" are difficult to discuss constructively without a "translator" (therapist).

Anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem are issues that can be overwhelming. I help clients to identify the factors that contribute to these issues, and then assist in formulating a plan to reduce the symptoms and resolve the problems. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment to address these concerns. Additionally, I am experienced in working with individuals and couples struggling with relationships and/or parenting. Parenting can be wonderful, but also extremely challenging. Relationships can falter. These situations can bring up unexpected thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to share with friends and family.
