She works from a person-centered perspective, listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions, and collaborating with clients to develop individualized treatment plans. Her approach is integrated and holistic, drawing on multiple therapy modalities to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her background includes work in civilian community settings and service as a Department of Defense provider, combined with many years of lived experience as a military family member.

Suzanne has also worked with members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies, offering nonjudgmental support and unconditional positive regard.

Whether addressing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, career questions, or other issues, Suzanne partners with clients to identify choices, build skills, and create paths toward healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action aligned with what matters most. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early caregiving relationships influence current patterns in relationships and emotional responses. It can support healing from trauma, improve intimacy, and strengthen family and partner connections.

Suzanne works collaboratively to identify which approaches fit each person’s goals and preferences. She combines her training with client input to craft a tailored plan, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so that the therapy approach feels practical and relevant.

Online sessions offered by licensed professionals provide flexibility in how care is delivered - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across schedules, locations, and life demands, while allowing clients to choose the format that best supports their comfort and needs.
