As a licensed therapist in Minnesota, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical expertise centers on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma recovery. I am deeply committed to helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication skills, and overcome feelings of isolation and social anxiety.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on understanding each individual's unique experiences. I work closely with clients to explore patterns of guilt, shame, and self-doubt while building resilience and emotional strength. Whether you're dealing with mood disorders, relationship transitions, or personal growth challenges, I aim to create a supportive environment where healing and transformation can occur.
I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, including individuals processing adoption experiences, managing personality dynamics, and healing from past emotional wounds. My goal is to empower you to develop healthier coping strategies, enhance self-understanding, and create meaningful personal change.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
Susan is a great therapist she was very knowledgeable in what we discussed. She was helpful and I appreciated it.
I’ve had one session and I have felt so much better. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Susan and to develop myself further.
She is excellent
Susan is someone I barely know but the first interactions with her have gone well and she’s been persistent in reaching out even when I didn’t respond, which made me feel nice and I know that she cares. She’s honest and I’ve enjoyed working with her so far. I’ve only had one session but I felt better after it. She’s been very kind and knowledgeable, offering me solid advice and truly listening.
She listens well and provides good direction
I found Susan in a terrible state and was the first time I felt I could speak openly. I needed somewhere to track my thoughts, actions, feelings, and seek advice. I write and write and she will send confirming messages of support and direction. The therapy session delved deeper into what I'm facing, helping to identify my needs and alleviated many fears.
