Susan is wonderful. She always meets me where I'm at, every session. She always has tools that can help immediately, and then researches for more that will help me specifically. I thank the universe for her every day.

I have hated myself for a very long time, and lost a lot of who I was due to buried and repressed trauma. Thanks to Susan, I not only like myself again. I am more confident, and stand up when I am unhappy with how something affected me. I am myself again and it’s so awesome to watch my old me come out again

I had a very helpful session with Susan regarding my grief over the recent death of my sister. She was very supportive and empathic, and gave me great advice and reassurance about dealing with my grief. I will definitely schedule future sessions with Susan!!!!
