AWARENESS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTS
A habitual thought. An unsettling feeling. A tension in your body you can no longer ignore. These are the moments in life when you become more aware, when something doesn’t feel quite right, or you notice the thoughts circling in your mind are pulling you down.
And there are times when awareness arrives more abruptly, through loss, a major life transition, or a traumatic experience. You may find yourself feeling anxious, low, agitated, disconnected, or simply out of sorts.
This awareness, whether subtle and uncomfortable, or loud and painful, is not something to push away. It is an invitation to pause, to turn inward, and to seek support.
Saying yes to the invitation opens the door to caring for your mental, emotional and relational well-being in a more intentional way. Partnering with an experienced professional, rather than struggling alone, creates a pathway towards deeper self-understanding, healing and a renewed alignment with your most authentic self and a richer, more meaningful life.
My door is open. When you are ready, I welcome you.
My Counseling Philosophy.
I create a safe harbor for you to share your concerns, struggles and challenges. I want to know who you are, your lived experiences and what currently tugs at your mind and heart. Counseling is a process of inner exploration. It is a path towards creating self-understanding, self-acceptance and opens the way towards greater health and happiness.
The common thread uniting us all is our humanity. We all experience times in our life when we feel confident, courageous and solid. We are able to show up in our life, make sound decisions, connect with others and navigate our way forward.
Yet, there are times when we are uncertain, challenged, stressed and wonder where our life is headed. Burdened with doubt or negative thinking, feeling a drop in mood state or an increase in anxiety, we experience the hardship our life and wonder if this is it.
I get that, for I too have navigated my way through difficult times, having experienced chronic illness, tremendous loss and painful heartbreak. I am here to tell you, there is hope. There is a way to be with and move through the disappointment, pain and hardship, regain your health, clarity and sense of self and rediscover joy.
Turning towards an experienced therapist, a therapeutic guide, is a sign of courage, strength and wisdom, and a path towards freedom and happiness.
“Working with Dr. Suzanne for two months changed my life in ways that I likely never would have been able to manage on my own.”

“I’m so grateful to have participated in two of Dr. Suzanne’s seminars. I can always trust the wisdom she shares, and the space she creates always feels welcoming and inclusive. The interactive exercises were especially powerful and made it easier to open up and connect with other like-minded participants in a really authentic way.”

Being & Becoming You is a program exploring your evolving sense of self, because you are aways changing, always in a state of becoming, yet rarely stop to pause to examine who you are in this current moment.
You know you have changed. You feel it deep within your bones, in the quiet quiver of your heart and in the subtle pull of your body towards something new. The version of you that once fit nicely into familiar roles, routines and relationships, no longer feel like a true reflection of who you are. You’ve shed layers. You’ve evolved and grown. And still, there are parts of you that no longer belong where they have once lived and parts still waiting to be discovered and gently welcomed home.
This program was developed to help you discover who you are now. It begins with the first seminar, “Who Am I Now”, by tracking the roots of your origin. If the program resonates with you, take the next seminar, “The Embodied Self”, and then the next, moving at your own pace.
This is a program for women, offering you the opportunity to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what’s true beneath the noise, in circle.
Through reflection, dialogue, and embodied practices, you’ll find clarity, compassion, and the courage to live more fully aligned with your purpose.
