Understand Yourself. Find What Works.
Move Forward.

If you have found your way here, you may be looking for a place where you can slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what has been happening in your life.

I'm Susan.
 

I'm a counselor, researcher, and lifelong learner. I'm endlessly curious about people, how we develop, how our brains work, how our experiences shape us, and how the environments around us influence the way we live.
 

That curiosity is a big part of how I practice.
 

I don't believe you need to fit neatly into a diagnosis, treatment model, or someone else's idea of how you should function. I want to understand your experience: what makes sense, what feels difficult, what you've tried, what you've learned, and what you want to be different.
 

I'm also comfortable not having all the answers. Research changes. People are complicated. New information matters. I continue to learn through clinical practice, research, supervision, education, and collaboration with other professionals.
 

Most of all, I see therapy as something we do together.
 

You bring your experience and expertise about your life. I bring clinical knowledge, curiosity, and the willingness to keep learning alongside you.
 

My hope is that you leave therapy with more than insight. I want you to leave with a better understanding of yourself and a growing sense of what you can actually do with that understanding.
