“I strive to understand an individual’s unique life experience. I provide a safe, supportive and empathic atmosphere that allows an individual to explore and understand their inner experiences and struggles.”
Clinical Approach
The clinical process is a partnership in which Susan assists people with:
Reflection
Developing the capacity to reflect and be curious about one’s feelings, thoughts and behaviors. The capacity to reflect allows one to be in control in their life and relationships.
Triggers
Understanding triggers to anxiety and panic is an essential part of alleviating uncomfortable feelings. The symptoms of anxiety and panic can be maladaptive ways of coping with difficult situations. Finding other ways to soothe oneself during these difficult moments is essential for easing acute anxiety.
Insight
Developing insight into one’s feelings, thoughts and behaviors. This allows one to gain a greater understanding of who they are and the life choices they make.
Self-Esteem
Improving one’s self-esteem and self-worth is a vital aspect of living a happier, more satisfying life. Understanding the many parts of oneself and gaining more acceptance of these aspects can be quite rewarding.
Relationships
Developing and maintaining healthy relationships. Feeling more fulfilled in one’s relationships occurs when we feel better about ourselves and learn more effective ways to interact with others.
