My name is Suzanne and I have been working in the field of mental health since 2009. I have a passion to support others with personal growth and healing through a variety of mental health interventions. I prefer to evaluate the whole person and their history in order to best create a treatment plan that addresses each client's unique needs. The hope is to create a lasting positive change in their overall well-being and connections with others.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Brief review of legal and ethical parameters of therapy. Intake information of current symptoms, recent mental health challenges, and historical data collection. Begin discussion of treatment plan goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have a broad experience which can relate directly with most clients. I am culturally sensitive, nurturing, and truly care about the outcomes of my clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am most equipped to help men and women ages 18 and up. Helping clients move through grief, loss, and other life transitions is a strength. Pre-marital and couples counseling are also categories I work with. I do offer a Christian based approach. I have special experience helping parents with early childhood development challenges, ADHD, blending families, and other parenting struggles with their children which may be impacting their mental health.

Suzanne has been so helpful with assisting me as I navigate through a challenging time. She is encouraging me to vent and then consider next steps in a logical and practical way. She is an encouraging, knowledgable councelor and I've really enjoyed my conversations with her.
