Guiding You Toward Healing & Transformation

Psychotherapy, recovery support, and ketamine-assisted therapy for those ready to explore life’s deeper possibilities.

Resilience as a Path to Clarity

The lotus blooms from deep, murky waters, untouched by the mud that surrounds it. The bodhi leaf, delicate yet enduring, symbolizes awakening and the mindful path forward. Both remind us that beauty, wisdom, and transformation are often born from struggle. Like the lotus rising toward the sun, your own journey has required strength through difficult conditions, and like the bodhi leaf, it carries the potential for clarity and awakening. While we may not be the cause of every hardship in our lives, we are the only ones who can choose how to rise from them, with awareness, intention, and responsibility for our healing.

A space to heal, grow, & rediscover yourself

I work with people who are ready to explore the deeper layers of their lives, whether you’re navigating a life transition, seeking therapy for personal growth, or wanting to heal from past challenges. My compassionate, flexible approach creates a safe place to uncover patterns, process emotions, and step into lasting change.

In addition to psychotherapy, I specialize in working with individuals in stable recovery from substance abuse, as well as those exploring the healing potential of ketamine-assisted therapy. With over 30 years of experience, I bring an integrative, personalized approach to every client, honoring both the science of psychology and the wisdom of your unique journey.

“Working with Susan has been a truly transformative experience. She is an incredible listener—present, attentive, and deeply empathetic. I’ve never felt more seen or understood in a therapeutic space. Her ability to hold space without judgment and reflect back insights with compassion has helped me grow in ways I didn’t think were possible. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and presence on my journey.”
