Helping You Navigate Life's Challenges
It is my belief that we all possess the capacity to overcome every obstacle that life brings us. While it is certainly possible to achieve balance on our own, there are times when we may need help. It could be that we are on the right track and then become blocked by problems that seem overwhelming. Then there are times when we cannot even find the right track.
With the capacity to establish therapeutic trust and safety with my clients, I can help you learn new coping tools. And assist discovery of your own strengths, passions, and life direction. This is the basis for growth through life's challenges.
If those challenges have their origins in the past, I can help you discover how they impact the present. Together, we can link how current stressors may be connected to long-standing emotional struggles.
I will personalize the work that we do together to meet your needs. My work is interactive, collaborative, and practical. I can provide you with encouragement and support while you adjust to life's transitions and develop new skills. Life can then become a process of personal growth and healing so that you can step into a more fulfilling future.

A Testimonial of Susan's Abilities
“I am a middle-aged woman and have had a lot of trauma and abuse in my life. When I was a child, my parents were young adults and normal responsible individuals. But they didn't know how to parent us as children. There were no set rules in this area. Instead of dealing with us, they chose to ignore our desire for attention. Over the years I grew up very confused and troubled but never could identify my real thoughts and feelings. All I knew was to please others. I made a lot of wrong decisions in my life and found myself in prison. There I learned a little about finding answers. I had answers to my questions but never knew the real meaning of identifying "why". Susan has been a wonderful asset and addition to my life. I felt very drawn to her intellectual outlook on life. I have been meeting with Susan for the last 6 months and have been able to advance to the next step of understanding why I have certain thoughts and feelings. I can honestly say that the forces beyond my control led me to cross her path. Thank goodness. I am thankful for Susan always showing me how to think outside of the box. I believe I would have stayed confused. Thank you, Susan, for sharing your dynamic healing knowledge and guiding me toward a better future. With your help, my goals in life are being met. Rock on Susan!!”
