If you’re ready to move toward greater peace, healing, and emotional well-being, call or text and you will connect with me directly.
I believe that personal connection matters, and the care I offer begins with our very first real conversation, no AI or secretary.
Together, we can explore what you’re facing, what you hope to change, and how I can best support you in creating a more grounded, connected, and fulfilling life.
The next chapter of your journey is just a phone call away.

Philosophy
Change and relief begin the moment you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. You will find a place of compassion, where you’ll be met with warmth and respect, free of judgment.
I use a blend of traditional and alternative therapeutic methods, grounded in the understanding that OPTIMAL mental health involves the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I pay special attention to the gut-brain connection and the role it plays with our energy, happiness and emotional resilience.
Whether you’re seeking support as an individual or in a relationship, I help clients build resilience, deepen connection, and create more fulfilling lives.
Individual Counseling
Dr. Susan helps clients achieve their goals by taking a non-pathological perspective and views clients problems in the context of their lives , culture and relationships. As a team, she and her clients collaborate to break problematic patterns of behavior, develop new coping strategies, increase self confidence, address life style issues, and improve relationships, heal from trauma, manage addictions.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling can help you have a more fulfilling, loving relationship based on the foundation of a trust and respect. If you are in a committed relationship it is never to soon to seek help. Unfortunately, many people seek counseling as a last resort to making their relationship work. Instead couples may have prevented much agony and pain had they sought help sooner.
Family Counseling
Families seek counseling to resolve conflict and enrich their relationships with their children, spouse, siblings, and parents. Family counseling allows for everyone to have a voice in the family so they can play a part in improving communication and promote closer, richer relationships.
