Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual, Suzy uses a multiculturally competent and neuro-affirming integrated approach (including psychodynamic, CPT, play therapy, IFS, trauma-informed, and person-centered methodologies) to serve her clients with attunement. Some of her interests include somatic work, grief and loss, serving marginalized populations, and promoting international and culturally conscious mental wellness. Suzy believes counseling is an inclusive, shared process of growth and that global mental wellness fosters unity and collective healing. On a fun note, Suzy enjoys spending time with family and friends, running, painting, wood-working, traveling, adores her fur babies, and endeavors to incorporate humor and play into all aspects of her life.
