About Suzanne

Are you feeling scared, lost or hopeless? Or are you in a job or a relationship that you know is not healthy and want support navigating a major life transition?  Are you looking for guidance and support finding a way out of your fear, anxiety, or depression? 

Has someone you care for or you yourself recently been diagnosed with an illness and you are looking for support navigating this totally new territory? Or maybe you are wondering how to navigate loss and grief within a society that does not honor and empower each individual's unique grieving process?

I see you. I am here for you.  I am here for all of you.  I can bear witness to and walk beside you as you embark on your challenging journey. 

After two decades providing empowering and transformative support and coaching to those I supervised and worked with at a nonprofit training and consulting firm, in 2019, I launched a second chapter.  After navigating my own major life changes, I have wholeheartedly shifted my life's focus to supporting individuals just like you. 

My goal is to provide compassionate and supportive evidence-based interventions tailored to your specific needs.  I am skilled at supporting  young adults, adults or seniors who feel lost, resigned or overwhelmed by their current life circumstances and do not see a clear pathway to freedom and peace of mind. 

I am currently in the process of earning my clinical independent license (LICSW) under the supervision of Sima Kulshreshtha, MSW, LICSW.  I have a Masters in Social Work from the University of Washington School of Social Work. I have specialized training in end of life care as a Carol LaMare Hospice, Palliative Care and Oncology Fellow.  I have also worked in a variety of clinical settings as a Medical Social Worker so I have a strong understanding of how illness and medical systems can impact mental health. 

I am also informed by anti-racist practices and policies and I am a strong LGBTQ+ ally.  

I have been on my own path of personal growth and transformation for over 25 years and I have been practicing mindfulness-based meditation for over a decade.  I have explored and engaged in buddhist/vipassana practices off and on for the past five years.

I look forward to partnering with you on your therapeutic journey.
