"As a therapist who has been in the field for 9 years, I understand how complex each individual's story can be."

My clinical background includes working with individuals struggling with substance abuse, children and families in the foster care setting, victims and perpetrators of sexual abuse and assault, and clients with generalized anxiety, depression, eating disorders and trauma. I particularly enjoy working with young adults struggling with depression and anxiety who want to work on their self esteem and create a stronger sense of self-worth. I am also passionate about working with mothers, some of whom are struggling to adjust to motherhood, finding their voice, and recognizing their value within the family system. I love working with clients who are motivated and goal oriented to create the life that they want to live. I will support you along the way and help identify what exactly that looks like for you.

I offer a nonjudgmental clinical environment for clients to be able to process and identify what struggles they are currently faced with and start to unravel how those came to be. I would help to work through any experiences that you feel are relevant to where you are now and help you to connect how your experiences have shaped your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Clients have shared with me in the past that I am down to earth and that they feel comfortable opening up to me knowing that I will support them in their choices.

Life can be really challenging at times. Most of us go through life having some sort of idea or plan of what we want to happen and often times, we are faced with obstacles that we didn't plan for. Some of those can seem overwhelming and even impossible to navigate. I want you to know that I am here to help you figure out a way to cope and make improvements in your life. I'm hoping after reading my bio, you feel like we would be a good match together.

"Are you stuck? Having difficulty in your relationships? Do you not understand why you or others feel and act the way they do? Being a therapist has made me realize that all of us — whether a young child, an adolescent, or adult — have basic needs to feel seen, heard and understood and to have connections and meaningful relationships with others."

Being a therapist has made Sue realize that all of us no matter our age have basic needs to feel seen, heard, and understood and to have connections and meaningful relationships with others. When these basic needs are not met in the way we need them to be, due to our individual life experiences, this is when we begin to struggle with feeling stuck in life and acting in ways we don't fully understand. This affects us as individuals and in our relationships with others. Sue is confident that she can provide a compassionate, open, safe space to support you as you uncover the underlying needs and reasons for your current struggles. She wants her clients to truly feel seen, heard, and understood. Sue is bilingual in English and Spanish. She invites you to schedule an appointment today so that you can begin to share your story with her.
