About Susan

Background and approach
Her long career reflects a steady commitment to practical, evidence-informed care for a range of emotional and life transitions. Clients can expect a collaborative process in which goals and strategies are shaped around individual needs and preferences.
Susan focuses on building a supportive therapeutic relationship and tailoring interventions so they fit the client rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. She also recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make that first step feel manageable and purposeful for those who reach out.
Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Many clinicians who work with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family issues use evidence-based techniques to guide treatment. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Approaches that address trauma and grief often combine stabilization, processing, and skills-building to help people regain a sense of safety and cope with loss or painful memories.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which techniques fit best with their goals, values, and preferences. This collaborative stance allows adjustments over time so interventions remain relevant and effective as needs change.
Online therapy with formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access help from wherever they are located within the therapist's service area. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session styles, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life.
