Susan is honest and will tell you what you need to hear. She helps with couples and family conflict and i always end feeling a sense of relief and a small weight lifted off my shoulders. She remembers our past talks and can pick up where we left off or she can change it up to a current issue if needed. She is very professional but also kind and caring and knows how to express how i feel when i can't even put it into words. I wish everyone had a therapist like Susan.

Susan seemed very open minded and intelligent, as well as interested in assisting me with my past experiences in childhood trauma and how it effects me today. I feel like she could be a good match in helping me work through triggering moments and have a successful life.
