Hi, I’m Susan

An Onalaska therapist dedicated to helping people reconnect

Working with me

There are a lot of great therapists out there but sometimes finding one feels a little random. This page is here so you can get a sense of who I am and how I work so you can quickly decide whether or not I might be a good fit.

I know education and credentials are important so I’ve included those for you down below. I’ll start by telling you a little about me so you can tell if I’m your cup of tea or not.

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist but you might also call me a heart mender, rash-decision tamer, and direct communication guru.  Forget the perfect moments, it’s all about recovery from the imperfect moments; the good, bad and ugly – no judgement here.

I help people who long for less loneliness in their relationship by guiding them to get clear about what they want to move toward deeper connection, more pleasure, and all around more fun!

Working with couples since 2005 has taught me that we are more resilient than we think.  Things can get better as we leave old expectations behind and grow closer in a more authentic way.

Ready to work?

Clients who have experienced the most success with me tend to work hard and are active participants. My clients have told me they appreciate my direct approach. Face it, we all have enough ambiguity in our relationships as it is.

I am fully present and enjoy a raucous laugh and a dose of profanity if you open that door.  Questions are stock and trade for therapists but we are partners in deciding where our focus needs to be. I try hard not to look for problems that aren’t there for you.
