“After graduate school, my next question, was ‘now what?’ My core values include helping others and being courageous. I found I can live these values out most effectively in my role as an outpatient therapist.”
Susanna strives to create a collaborative, open and safe space where she provides validation, empathy and compassion. You can expect your session to center on what is important to you, focusing on developing a greater understanding of yourself and your innermost thoughts, feelings and emotions. With this understanding comes the development of new skills and strategies to navigate life challenges and transitions.
Susanna utilizes a person centered, strength base approach incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Behavioral Activation interventions, as well as motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies. She is also trained in Gottman Level 1 Relationship Counseling and Grief Counseling.
