About Susana
I assist adults and teens from various backgrounds to realize their fullest potential in life through the development of healthy relationships with both their family and community.
My counseling approach is simple: I focus on the therapeutic relationship between counselor and client first – trust is the connection that will open the doors to a deeper state of healing. I am convinced that, for most people, a sense of belonging is foundational to psychological well-being and I aim to support my clients in discovering their identity so they know that they belong. I believe that when we know our identity, we are able to experience acceptance, integration, and wholeness.
Some of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and addictions. I also work with families to improve communication and connection. I believe that combining the client’s faith and spirituality into their mental health counseling will help their recovery process.
When I am not in session with clients, I can be found with my family at a nearby park or gym or in the kitchen cooking something yummy.
