You have not felt like yourself and you are not sure who you are becoming on the other side of this. Maybe you are grieving a person, a pregnancy, a plan, a dream, or a version of your life you had planned.

Maybe infertility has quietly taken over everything and you are carrying a question you are afraid to say out loud.

I work with people who come in with one thing, maybe anxiety, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or life just feeling off and as we talk, we discover there’s more underneath. Or they’re in a season of figuring themselves out, navigating women’s issues, self-esteem struggles, or questions about identity and who they really are. They want to live more authentically and actually feel good about themselves. They’re tired of going through the motions and ready to navigate life differently - in a way that brings real satisfaction and happiness, not just getting by.

I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQ+ adults, neurodivergent individuals, and people navigating addiction and recovery.
Sometimes the ways we've learned to survive become the very things that keep us stuck. Maybe you've spent years masking parts of yourself, people-pleasing, overthinking every interaction, or feeling like you're somehow "too much" or "not enough." Maybe your nervous system never seems to relax, or substances became the thing that finally quieted the noise. I don't believe your coping strategies tell me what's wrong with you—I think they tell us what happened to you and what helped you survive. Together, we'll get curious about whether they're still serving you.

I offer neurodivergence-affirming, LGBTQIA+-inclusive, trauma-informed therapy.
Have you ever left therapy feeling like nothing really changed, like it was just another conversation without movement? Many of my clients come in carrying the weight of academic pressure, perfectionism, identity struggles, or the exhaustion of being neurodivergent in a world not built for them. You may be tired of performing, managing expectations, or trying to “get it right” all the time. Deep down, you want to feel authentic, connected, and free to be yourself. Without judgment and without masks. I use ACT, DBT, Mindfulness, and EMDR to help customize the approach for every client.

With over thirty years of dedicated experience in the field of mental health, Susan stands as a beacon of hope and healing for those who are suffering. Her approach to therapy is grounded in real neurological and behavioral science. Client Testimonial "With some past counselors, I've often been put off by vaguely new age "feel good" sessions that never sought to address the actual underlying illness. Susan has helped me to identify why I reacted to something in a certain way, and how to catch myself from repeating those thinking traps. I feel great, my family has never been happier and my work life has soared to new heights."

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
