Services

Three areas of deep experience

Susan works with adolescents and adults, in a private and confidential setting, at all three offices.

Addiction & recovery counseling

If alcohol or substance use has started to take up more space in your life than you want it to, you are not alone — and asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Susan is a certified addiction specialist with more than 30 years of experience supporting people at every stage: questioning their relationship with a substance, taking the first steps toward change, or working to protect a hard-won recovery.

Everything you share is confidential. Counseling is a private, judgment-free space to be honest about where you are and to decide, together, where you want to go.

Susan also works with family members who are watching someone they love struggle with substance use. Getting support for yourself can make a real difference for both of you.

This may be a fit if you're dealing with:

  • Alcohol use
  • Substance use
  • Early recovery
  • Staying in recovery
  • Family members & partners
  • Teens & adults

Not sure where you fit? That's okay — you don't have to decide before you call.

Anxiety counseling

Anxiety can show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, trouble sleeping, or a sense of dread that will not lift. It is exhausting — and it is also very treatable.

In counseling, you will work with Susan to understand what fuels your anxiety and build practical tools to quiet it, so your mind can rest and you can be present in your own life again.

This may be a fit if you're dealing with:

  • Constant worry
  • Panic
  • Racing thoughts
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Physical tension
  • Feeling overwhelmed

Not sure where you fit? That's okay — you don't have to decide before you call.

Depression counseling

Depression can make everything feel heavy — getting out of bed, seeing people, even doing the things you used to love. When you feel that way, reaching out for help can seem impossible. That first step is often the hardest one, and it is enough.

Susan provides warm, steady support to help you find energy, meaning, and connection again — at a pace that respects where you are right now.

This may be a fit if you're dealing with:

  • Low mood
  • Loss of interest
  • Tiredness & heaviness
  • Feeling hopeless
  • Pulling away from people
  • Feeling stuck

Not sure where you fit? That's okay — you don't have to decide before you call.

Not sure which kind of support you need?

You don't have to decide before you call. Reach out, and Susan will help you figure out the right starting point.
