About Susanne
She describes herself as an indigenous, multiracial woman and brings that perspective into her work. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, grief, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. Susanne also helps people address self-esteem, motivation, and challenges with addiction and compassion fatigue.
Relationship and communication concerns are part of her practice, including the work that follows family of origin issues and ongoing family problems. She also attends to issues tied to prejudice, multicultural stress, and veteran and armed forces concerns. Clients bring questions about parenting, anger, and rebuilding self-love, and Susanne helps them map out steps forward.
Her style is collaborative and grounded. She listens first, then helps people make sense of their experiences and try new approaches. Sessions blend emotional work with concrete skills so people leave with tools they can use in daily life.
Susanne works in English and holds a New York LMFT credential. She invites people who are ready to explore change to take that first step and complete the initial matching process to begin scheduling sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. It helps with anxiety, low confidence, and coping with life changes by prioritizing what matters to the individual.The Gottman Method concentrates on improving communication and reducing conflict in relationships. It uses clear exercises and skills practices to change how people talk and solve problems together.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives. It can be useful for addressing shame, guilt, identity questions, and the effects of prejudice or trauma.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Together they adjust the work as needs and priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as squeezing a meeting into a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the need to be on camera for every conversation. Ask about practical arrangements when you schedule to find the best fit for your routine and goals.
