LPC, 8 years of experience
Hello there, my name is Suzanne. Do you yearn for relief from feeling overwhelmed and exhausted from the chaos of life? Are you suffering from the pain from past experiences, limiting your ability to feel happy and fulfilled? Has there been a limit to your creativity and joy due to sadness, worry, or health issues? I help my clients rebuild confidence and better understand emotional responses to live a life of authenticity and peace. Together we will explore your inner self and build an understanding of the experiences that shaped you into who you are. I have extensive experience in health and wellness, especially stress management and mind-body practices. We may practice mindfulness and grounding to help increase a sense of regulation and peace. We may build communication skills to improve the quality of relationships with ourselves and others. I offer support through life stressors, transitions and assist in understanding the past to improve the future.
I like our first session to establish our connection, explore primary issues, and build confidence in the therapy process.
I have helped clients find confidence again, sometimes for the very first time, to live the life they want.
I love working with individuals, professionals and creatives who may be feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I offer a supportive and safe space to help them process their experience, find a path forward, and build new skills. My clients are eager to improve, to make their life their own and find fulfillment, whether they have the tools needed to make this goal a reality or they seek guidance in building these skills I am here to help.
