Great to meet you!

Hi, My name is Susan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with several specialties. I have 20 years of experience with adults, geriatric and veterans. My passion is helping clients learn to adjust to life's challenges and stressors, learn to cope with depression and anxiety, as well as how to overcome traumatic events in our lives. I believe it takes a lot of strength and courage to seek out therapy and I want to thank you for thinking of sharing your information with me.

My approach to therapy

I believe that one of the most important aspects of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I use a client centered, strengths-based approach to build rapport, establish a positive bond with clients and I believe you are the expert in your own life. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma focused, & Solution focused therapy. I help clients learn to regulate their emotions, behaviors, cope with anxiety, depression, heal from trauma and begin on the path to healing.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect the treatment to be individualized and specific to their wants and needs. Each person's emotions, trauma, and pain is specific to them and therefore the treatment will be specific to them.

I believe strongly in the positive outcomes associated with telling your story and I will give you the space to do that in a safe, nonjudgmental place. I am here to walk with you on your path to healing.
