About
Meet Suzanne

For two decades, I've had the privilege of sitting with people through some of their harder and more tender moments — teens finding their footing, college students in the thick of big change, and adults working to feel more like themselves again.
The part of my work I care about most isn't a technique — it's the relationship. I offer a space that's warm, honest, and free of judgment, where you can say the things that are hard to say and be met with real understanding. My style is genuine and down-to-earth: I'll listen closely, help you make sense of what's going on, and go at a pace that feels right for you.
As an adoptee myself, questions of identity and belonging are close to my heart. I hold a special place in my practice for adoptees of all ages and for adoptive families — with the understanding that comes from lived experience, not just training.
