Meeting Susan is a gift and I'm so thankful. She has the natural ease of a therapist, friend, ally, and advocate all in one. There was not a single session I didn't learn something valuable from her. I highly recommend working with her as she will meet you where you're at in your life and provide the safe space you're looking for.

Susan is an amazing person who listens to my rambling and helps me sort my thoughts and emotions. She makes me feel heard and educates me on terms I may not have known or have been using incorrectly. Each session I have haves me going to bed in peace.

Susan is wonderful and very experienced. I enjoy chatting with her and she is the first person to understand what I am going through. It's nice to talk to someone that gets it.

She is attentive and actually listens to you. She doesn’t try to tell you what you want to hear. She will be up-front but compassionate. I really enjoy her and trust in her!

She is by far one of the best therapists I've ever had. She's very responsive and was able to identify my struggles and offer helpful solutions and advice after just one session. I HIGHLY recommend Susan!
