More about Susan

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I'm a licensed therapist in Indiana with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, from young adults navigating identity and purpose to older adults facing life transitions and end-of-life concerns.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and cultural responsiveness. I specialize in helping clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. I'm particularly skilled at addressing complex issues like grief, abandonment, shame, and the aftermath of abuse or assault. I also support clients navigating major life changes—divorce, career transitions, midlife shifts, and caregiver stress.

I bring a person-centered, evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing on various modalities to meet each client where they are. I believe in creating a space where you feel genuinely heard and respected, free from judgment. My goal is to help you build resilience, improve communication, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and self-worth.

Whether you're managing mood challenges, working through relationship patterns, or processing trauma, I'm here to walk alongside you with honesty, skill, and genuine care. Taking this step toward healing takes courage, and I'm honored to support your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
