About Susan
Susan draws on eight years of experience working with motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and issues that can come up during gender transition and religious trauma. She combines active listening with focused conversation techniques to help people sort out what matters most to them. Sessions often center on identifying small, doable changes that build momentum.
Therapy with Susan typically involves looking at thinking patterns that get in the way, practicing new skills, and trying out different ways of responding to hard moments. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior skills, and acceptance-based methods to give concrete strategies for stress, mood shifts, and social anxiety.
Her style is collaborative. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to set goals and measure progress. This means plans are individualized and adjusted as needs change.
Susan is licensed in Washington as a LICSW and offers sessions in English. If you are ready to begin, she asks that you select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.
