About Susan
Susan also provides care for people who continue to be affected by traumatic childhood experiences, offering approaches aimed at reducing the ways those early wounds interfere with daily functioning. Her practice has included work with LGBQ individuals, youth, families, couples, and people facing career transitions, recovery from trauma, depression, anxiety, and other life challenges. She combines clinical experience with program development and supervision, having overseen grants, events, and administrative aspects of behavioral health programs.
Having lived in a range of communities from large metropolitan areas to small towns, Susan brings a broad perspective to clinical work and to helping people clarify values, purpose, and next steps. She welcomes initial contact and is prepared to support those ready to explore change and growth.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Susan integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her work, using each approach where it fits a person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space in which the individual is supported to explore values, identity, and relationships - it is useful for clients seeking understanding and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with stress and trauma.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Susan collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting techniques over time as needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what will be most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect across geographic distances. These options allow licensed professionals like Susan to maintain continuity of care and to support people in real time, whether addressing everyday stressors, relationship concerns, or recovery from past trauma.
