I am a person-centered therapist licensed in CT with over 25 years of experience working as mind/body holistic clinical social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and trauma. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating all people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a fulfilling, healthy happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to explore that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Susan is a warm empathetic counselor and I enjoy our conversations. She always helps steer me in the direction I need to be without it feeling that she is directing.

Susan understood my way of working through and with my issues. Susan has given me resources to use and offers role-play scenarios which are very helpful. I would recommend Susan to anybody within her scope of expertise.

Susan is very intuitive and understanding. She has had a very different whole-person approach that my other therapists did not have, and I appreciate her open-mindedness and non-judgmental attitude. She’s not afraid to ask me the deeper questions which is awesome. I’m already seeing progress and yet it’s early on in my treatment. Would highly recommend!

Susan has been a big help in processing my feelings and sense of identity as a closeted bisexual man finally ready to come out. She is attentive, compassionate, and is a great sounding board for ideas and feelings. She offers good advice and support while being very accepting and welcoming.
