About Susan

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and life changes, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.

Susan uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. She helps people learn skills for managing stress and gaining more mental clarity. Sessions often include mindfulness techniques and creative exercises when they fit the client’s interests.
Her background includes work in a Federal Veterans Affairs hospital and a state psychiatric residential hospital. There she ran and supported group and individual work with adolescents and adults in acute settings. Those roles shaped her experience with trauma, grief, and the effects of abuse.
In therapy she mixes client-centered conversation with narrative and existential ideas. That means she listens for the story a person tells about their life, then helps them notice other ways to understand it. Sessions can include emotionally-focused skills for improving relationships and regulation tools for intense moments.
Susan treats each person as the expert on their own life and offers practical tools to build resilience. She asks about goals and values, and then works toward clear next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Clients can expect methods drawn from client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can steer each session. That approach helps with confidence and decision-making. Emotionally-focused ideas help people notice and work with relationship patterns and intense feelings in a clear way. Mindfulness techniques offer simple practices for grounding, managing anxiety, and reducing reactivity.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit best for their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That process can include trying different tools and then adjusting as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep regular sessions and apply skills between meetings.
