Susan has been such a tremendous help to me. She is getting me through the toughest moments of my life. I don't know what I would do without her. She sheds light on my situation and helps me frame it in a way that I can see the truth instead of getting caught up in confusion and feeling overwhelmed.

Susan has been a wonderful therapist to me for the last 1.5 years. She is a great listener, very thoughtful in her advice, and has loads of experience that shows in her day to day practice. She helped me work through some big issues from a toxic relationship and helped me get to a much healthier mental health space after just a few sessions. Susan is really wonderful!
