Work with me

Do you feel stuck in the same painful cycle — arguing, shutting down, or clinging tighter, only to end up more disconnected?

You may lie awake replaying conversations, wondering if you’re “too much” or “not enough,” or fearing a relationship won’t last.

Even when you care deeply, old wounds and attachment injuries can quietly erode closeness.

What you long for is safety, trust, and the feeling of being understood, accepted, and loved.

I help couples, individuals, and anyone seeking to create healthier, more secure relationships.

I also work with individuals suffering from digestive system disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome. I help them develop a secure nervous system to reduce or eliminate digestive discomfort.

My approach is guided by the Attachment Cycle Reset for Lasting Love, integrating attachment science, polyvagal theory, somatic work, and inner child healing. Inspired by pioneers like John Bradshaw, Virginia Satir, John Bowlby, and Peter Lavine. I value authenticity, curiosity, and compassion— both in the therapy room and in life.
My work is inclusive and affirming of all backgrounds, identities, and family structures.

"Susan is warm and easy to talk to. She knows how to bring me out with powerful questions. I was able to see that what I wanted for my life was out of my reach because I had put myself in a cage and I didn't even know that I was the one holding the key until Susan pointed this out to me. It was only a couple of weeks later that I left a abusive relationship and reclaimed my power by moving out on my own. I have been grateful to her ever since and I have sent my friends to her."
"Susan has great timing and an intuitive knack for saying the right thing at the right time to motivate you. Like magic, she just sprinkles a few key words at you and they resonate! Also, I find her presentation entertaining and lively, so you want to listen. Her journal and handouts inspire me everyday, so that I've gone from not knowing what to do with my life to becoming impassioned about writing, travel, and financial independence. Susan also demonstrates high integrity and works well with people, really honing in on their wavelengths. I would recommend her to anybody who feels stuck"
