“As an adult woman who experienced significant, ongoing abuse and neglect as a child, I spent more than 15 years struggling with feelings of poor self-worth, extreme fear of abandonment, bouts of heightened anxiety and alcohol abuse, and bounced from one unhealthy, failed relationship to the next. I had multiple PTSD experiences and, while high functioning, always seemed to be in a place of emotional and relationship turmoil. Until I began work with Susan, I wasn’t able to make much sense of my past or current experiences and emotional pain. Even when I should have been happy, I wasn’t. More than that, I constantly sabotaged the good in my life.Through working with Susan, however, I began to understand how I was replaying childhood trauma in my adult life. Her grounded, holistic and innovative approach to healing helped me begin to better understand myself, develop more resiliency, identify ongoing patterns and unpack the emotional and physical trauma that was keeping me in a cycle of turmoil. Susan brings empathy, wisdom and a lightness to every session, making working through difficult feelings and patterns possible. She created a holistic treatment plan that worked for me specifically. I understand that healing and growth are a process and I still have some unpacking to do, but through working with Susan, I have the understanding, support and tools needed to create a more grounded, healthy and empowered life. In gratitude for all she brings… “

 

“My teenage daughter started to see Susan for the depression and anxiety she had been dealing with for a few years. She was suffering from childhood sexual abuse and the associated lack of confidence and fear of men she had felt since early childhood. Through Susan’s use of brainspotting and somatic experiencing, she was able to help my daughter process the trauma and greatly reduce her feelings of anxiety (especially toward men), helplessness, anger and depression. She has now been desensitized to the actual events of her abuse and is finally happy; she is stronger and more confident than ever before. Now I know my daughter can face her future confidently with the tools Susan taught her to deal with any future adversity she may encounter.”

 

“Since I have been working with Susan, Brainspotting has been a helpful tool in regulating my anxiety and depression. Susan has been able to blend brainspotting with other methods, including EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, to make it a more streamlined experience which I believe has expedited my recovery.”

 

“I think back to where I was last year and there is a huge difference! I am so thankful that I had your help through everything I went through. I wouldn’t be at the place I am now in my life if it weren’t for you. I can’t say thank you enough for helping me with everything.”

 

“Working with Susan is terrific! Since suffering a TBI, the heart math and brain spotting has been an enormous help in my recovery and freeing me from the trauma – I finally feel like I have my life again! Looking back it’s amazing to realize how far I have come with her help.”

 

“My daughter said that of all the counseling and medication treatments we have tried, the DBT classes were, by far, the most helpful to her. I have seen tremendous progress in her mental outlook daily. She has the skills now to keep her on track.”

 

“Brainspotting has helped me work through childhood trauma I felt I’d never get over. Susan has been wonderful at guiding me through the process while creating a feeling of safety for me. I have gained more of myself in the process and continue to feel better every day.”

 

“DBT has made a night and day difference in my personal life. During the most stressful situations, practicing the skills Susan taught me have helped me to stay calm and thrive. Combined with individual therapy with Susan, DBT has opened an entire new spectrum of coping skills that I now use on a daily basis.”

 

“I suffered a TBI and became a very withdrawn and depressed soul. The accident replayed daily in my mind and it affected my everyday life. With Susan’s help and guidance in using the “brain-spotting” technique, I was able to release the terrible psychological effects, the PTSD, and negative energy that had held me in its grips for years. I no longer think of the accident nor does it affect my life. I am my old, outgoing self once again. Susan has been a God-send for helping me past this awful event in my life. Susan’s guidance and methods can help you too! LRW”

 

“As a teenager, I never thought it would be possible to overcome the childhood traumas that have pained me for so long and caused extensive anxiety and depression. However, with Susan leading the way using brainspotting and other effective therapeutic techniques, I’ve now made a full recovery. I feel much happier, much stronger, and greatly empowered, as well as altogether healthier as a whole. Thank you so much Susan!”
