She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, trauma, and other life transitions.

Her practice includes work on intimacy, communication, and rebuilding after loss.

Susan emphasizes practical steps and clear goals in sessions. She focuses on what a person wants to change and on small, achievable moves toward that goal. If a concern falls outside her scope, she will suggest other professionals who may be a better fit.

How solution-focused work translates to online sessions

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' goals and the practical steps to reach them. Sessions tend to focus on strengths, recent progress, and specific actions someone can try between meetings. This approach works well for people looking to manage anxiety, cope with life changes, or improve communication.

The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. Deciding which methods to use is part of the process, and choices are shaped by the client's needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client check in together and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know what online formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. It can also be helpful when caregiving duties or mobility make in-person visits difficult. Discuss scheduling and format preferences when arranging the first appointment so sessions match daily routines and goals.
