She specializes in trauma recovery, ADHD, shame, anxiety, depression, couples communication, parenthood transitions, substance use, and bipolar disorder. By blending clinical expertise with humor and creativity, she creates a warm, authentic space that helps clients release the pressure to be perfect, reconnect with their true selves, and discover new ways to heal and grow.

Testimonials

“I’ve seen other therapists, but this feels different. I don’t just vent—I leave each session with insight that helps me manage my anxiety and depression. For the first time I am actually able to change the patterns that were keeping me stuck.”
| S.K. |

“I only refer couples to Susan because her ability to engage both partners is rare. Too often wives push for therapy while husbands detach, but with Susan both partners grow. I call her the ‘husband whisperer’ because men gain just as much as their partners.”
| L.O. |

“Susan actually pays attention instead of following a script. She’s even created resources just for me when nothing else fit—who does that?!”
| D.F.|
