ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Suzanne.
A Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist passionate about helping people navigate life's hardest moments with compassion and support.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist. My background includes pediatric behavioral health, hospital-based care, school mental health, and trauma-focused treatment across community settings.
I have spent my career working with children, adolescents, families, and multidisciplinary teams through some of life's hardest moments. That experience shapes everything about how I work.
My approach is grounded in authenticity and genuine connection. I believe people heal when they feel truly safe — not managed or rushed. Many of the clients I work with have spent a long time being the strong one for everyone else. This is a space where they don't have to be.

A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Sand tray therapy uses a tray of sand and a collection of small figures to help people express and process what is hard to put into words.
It is especially effective with children, though adults find it equally valuable — particularly when something feels stuck and talk therapy alone hasn't moved it.
SAND TRAY THERAPY
Not every therapist offers sand tray. It's one of the things that makes this practice a little different.
If something here resonated,
I'd love to connect.
