Our Team

Hi, I’m Susan, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and my pronouns are she/her.  When I’m not working, I like to get outside for a walk or a hike.

I love working with...

I specialize in working with adults of all ages, on issues including anxiety, depression, grief & loss, stress, life transitions, communication, and self-esteem. ‍

Some of my favorite approaches include...

In my practice, I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  Mindfulness, and values are two core components of my approach to therapy.  I also like to incorporate brain science, as it relates to the mind-body connection.

How I help...

My approach to therapy is a collaborative process with you, that starts by developing a trusting and supportive relationship that will allow you to self-reflect and grow.

I believe...

Everyone has the ability to overcome the challenges and hardships that life can present.  I understand that change doesn’t always come easily, and it takes acceptance, willingness, persistence, and commitment. Therapy is a great way to start to move forward, find peace, and live an authentic life.

What it's like in session with me

My preference is to start each session by asking what you want to get from session today, and we go from there.  I hope to support you to be curious, and learn about yourself, to find solutions to your challenges and issues.  We might explore your thoughts and feelings, or talk about your values, or discuss coping/stress management techniques.   In addition to traditional talk therapy, I find it is beneficial to practice some of the techniques that foster a positive mind-body connection, such as relaxation, grounding, and deep breathing.
