About me

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 24 years and am currently licensed in Louisiana. I offer work and life experiences in a variety of areas. I have worked extensively with but not limited to clients with the following issues: medical, chronic illness, end of life, transplant, caregiver fatigue, mental health, chronic depression, severe anxiety, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, personality disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse/addiction, women's issues, domestic violence, sexual trauma, homelessness, and previous incarceration. My work has been conducted within home health, hospice, psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential substance abuse, residential women's shelters, mental health counseling centers, home, and school environments.

I feel that I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental approach in which the focus is on the best plan of care for your individual needs. I believe that there is no "cookie cutter" way in which to help people and that everyone has individualized circumstances and needs. I also offer all learning modalities so that you have the best and most effective learning environment in order for you to be able to actively apply and develop the coping strategies that you need to be successful in achieving your vision for your life.

I feel that I offer realistic solutions to real-life issues and welcome the opportunity to assist you in achieving your authentic and healthy self!

I’ve only just started working with Susan but she has so far provided me with excellent care. I’m so grateful for the many resources and above-and-beyond mentality she approaches my treatment with. She makes me feel very safe, cared for and in very good hands. She truly offers a comprehensive approach to my therapy and I’ve already felt so my progress in my journey since starting with her. She’s very communicative, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I feel really lucky to work with her and follow her guidance as I heal and grow at a pace that I feel comfortable with. She is a fantastic counselor.

Susan is the best therapist I’ve had. She truly listens and isn’t afraid to address concerns. She is honest but kind. She is very knowledgeable and great at giving advice and guidance. She takes my thoughts, feelings, and struggles into consideration every session.

It makes me feel better knowing she has some personal experiences with Jehovah's Witnesses. It helps with my trauma and how it has effected me.
