Hi there!
I’m Susan.

My approach to counseling is to be authentic, empathetic, supportive and respectful. I believe it is important to respect and work within the framework of your values, beliefs, culture and spirituality. I have always had the ability to understand and connect with people and believe we can all grow and evolve. Therapy can be hard work and I try to find creative ways to make it fun and interesting.

  • I am the mother of two boys and Miley-the-Cat. I am honored to work with several non-profit organizations to provide accessible and affordable care for underserved communities. I love to travel and experience new places and cultures.

  • I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and hold a Master of Arts in Psychology Counseling from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin. I have worked in private practice, a psychiatric hospital and as a volunteer for under-served communities. In my previous career, I served as a Chief Human Resources Officer for AmLaw 100 law firms, global technology and non-profit organizations.
