About Susan
She has spent much of her career working in settings like orphanages, residential treatment centers, and addiction programs. That background gave her practical experience supporting young people and parents through low self-esteem, eating concerns, academic struggles, and depression.
In session she is interactive and warm. Her style is strength-based and reliable, and she aims to help people notice strengths they already have and use them to cope with change. She often works with issues related to attachment, relationship struggles, parenting, and blended family dynamics.
Susan uses a mix of clinical approaches that include attachment-focused work, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotionally-focused methods. She draws on these tools to address concerns such as self-harm, compassion fatigue, addictions, and hospice and end-of-life counseling when those topics come up.
People who choose her can expect practical conversation, short-term strategies, and attention to the emotional story beneath the problem. She invites clients to take steady steps toward clearer values, stronger connections, and improved day-to-day coping.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Susan commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current emotions and patterns. That work helps when loneliness, codependency, or attachment issues show up in adult relationships, and it focuses on building safer connections and clearer expectations.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers short-term tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by helping people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, concerns, and personal preferences. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is made.
