I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and action-oriented. I help people move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to feeling more grounded, connected, and purposeful. In our work together, you’ll build practical tools, explore unhelpful patterns, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself so you can make choices that align with the life you want to create.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience providing psychotherapy to both adults and children. My clinical background includes working with individuals and families facing substance use disorders, mood disorders, and LGBTQ+ concerns. I take a solution-focused and collaborative approach, helping clients identify challenges and implement practical strategies for positive change. In addition, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to expand treatment options and support long-term growth. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where clients feel understood and empowered to achieve their goals.

Sometimes people experience emotional problems (e.g., anxiety, depression), behavioral problems (e.g., overeating, smoking), or relationship problems (e.g., excessive arguing, poor communication) that interfere with their daily functioning. These difficulties result from the interaction of biological, learning, behavioral, and environmental factors, which influence patterns of thinking and behaving. Negative life events can contribute to the development of self-defeating patterns of thinking and behaving, which some people can have difficulty changing. In my work, which I have been practicing for 42 years, I help people identify these self-defeating patterns and develop strategies for dealing with them. I emphasize the importance of practicing these strategies consistently, with the goal of handling emotions more effectively and behaving in more responsible and healthy ways. I focus on life pattern changes with respect to relationships, depression, anxiety, anger control, impulse control, and stress management.

Hi, I’m Suzeline. You might be used to holding everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally drained on the inside. Maybe your mind doesn’t slow down, you overthink things, or you feel stuck in a cycle where it’s hard to feel motivated, present, or like yourself. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, low mood, or a mix of both, it can feel exhausting carrying so much and not having a space to just be honest about it. Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out. You can show up as you are. I create a warm, supportive space where you can talk things through, make sense of what you’re feeling, and start to feel more grounded and in control. In our work together, we’ll look at the patterns, thoughts, and pressures that may be keeping you stuck. We’ll also focus on practical ways to help you manage anxiety, improve your mood, set boundaries, and move through life with more clarity and confidence.
