A Space to Heal and Thrive

Therapy for adults who have experienced any significant negative life event or incident that impacts how they feel about themselves or the world around them.

Let's Talk

“It isn’t in my past, it is in my everyday”

- Helen Wilson

The aftermath of abuse, relational trauma or other painful life experiences is like a hidden life-bruise that continues to hurt long after the experiences ended. Often individuals initially seek out help for symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, emotional overwhelm, and/or reliving a traumatic or painful experience. Most commonly, I see individuals in my office who have unresolved trauma or painful experiences from childhood, teen years or as an adult. Many times these experiences show up as unhelpful patterns in relationships, reactions, thoughts, behaviors, emotions and feelings about your Self or in settings such as college, work, home or in relationships.

Meet Suzanne

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker. My passion is helping you get to the core of what really matters. I help to identify and resolve how the past is showing up in your every day life, then developing the highest, truest expression of your Self.

When I’m not in my office, you can usually find me at home with my husband and our fur babies. I love being out in nature and often escape urban life to inhale fresh air and re-connect with nature. I love experiencing other cultures through travel, relationships, reading, and food. My hobbies include listening to great music, supporting local/regional musicians and playing keyboards in duo with my creative husband.

My Approach

My approach is to meet with you and tailor therapy to your unique needs including, but not limited to:

Learning about the brain, activation and instinctive defenses - fight, flight, freeze, submit and attachment cry;

Discovering Attachment wounding and adult relational attachment styles;
Understanding context of struggles in relation to traumatic or painful experiences;
Feeling how trauma shows up in your body somatically and techniques to feel into safety and safeness;
Use of creativity including externalizing, experiential activities and art;
Re-processing of traumatic memory using Internal Family Systems (IFS) or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Developing and aligning all parts of your personality, beliefs and values to reach your highest, truest expression of your Self.

As a clinical social worker, I respect all aspects of your identity including race, culture, religion, faith, spirituality, class, neurodivergence, gender and sexual identity.
