A bit about my approach to therapy

Susanna utilizes a range of therapeutic modalities to meet the diverse needs of her clients. Her Person-Centered Therapy approach creates a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment where clients feel empowered to explore their inner experiences. With Trauma-Informed Care, Susanna ensures a safe and supportive space for clients to process and heal from past traumas. She also employs Family Systems Therapy to address relational dynamics and strengthen family bonds.

What you can expect from our first session

In sessions with me, clients gain self-awareness, practical tools to manage challenges and feel empowered to make positive changes. I create a safe, nonjudgmental, empathetic environment, focusing on building a strong therapeutic alliance. Together, we set personalized goals, using a variety of techniques to foster resilience. My goal is for clients to leave with clarity, confidence, and strategies to navigate daily life. Therapy is a collaborative journey toward growth and healing.
