If you have read the About Susan page, you already know that I am a queer ally and member of the LGBTQIA+ community. Although my beliefs are not revolutionary, in today’s world, believing that love is love is love seems to be getting more contentious. Are you finding it difficult to be your authentic self when it feels like so many others want to erase your existence? I hear you, and I see you.
My experience living, working with, accepting and championing the LGBTQIA+ community pre-dates my life as a counselor. To borrow a line from Lady Gaga, “I was born this way” – and I’ve been working in this field, with this population for over four decades. Please be assured that you will always be safe sharing your most authentic self with me, regardless of the reactions you may have received from others.

Whether you are dealing with transition challenges, relationship issues, living authentically, or any other concern that you need to work out, I can help. Holding space for you is my privilege. My specialties include gender transitions (including WPATH letters), relationship issues, ethical non-monogamy, developing an “out” strategy, and helping you discover who you were truly meant to be and providing you with tools to live authentically. If you are also working through comorbidities such as addiction, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, ADHD or something else, I am qualified and honored to be your therapeutic guide.
