Meet Susan

My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy, with room for humor when it feels helpful. I work with clients across a variety of settings, including education, school psychology, and clinical counseling, which helps me understand people within the context of their everyday lives. I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship and supporting clients in developing practical tools they can use outside of sessions to create meaningful change. I continuously refine my approach to ensure therapy feels responsive, supportive, and tailored to each client’s goals.

My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy, with room for humor when it feels helpful.
