More about Susan
- 20 years' experience

- LMSW
As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate emotional wellness, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and addiction recovery.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals through transformative life transitions, focusing on areas like self-love, personal purpose, healing from shame, and rebuilding after significant emotional experiences such as divorce or chronic health challenges. My approach honors each person's unique journey, offering empathetic guidance toward greater emotional resilience and self-understanding.
My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can develop healthier coping strategies, and rediscover their strengths. Whether you're struggling with mood disorders, relationship dynamics, addiction, co-addiction or seeking personal growth, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with professional compassion and genuine care.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
