Having been born and raised overseas in a Spanish-speaking country, and having lived in other European countries as well, Susan is sensitive to and able to appreciate the beauty and richness of having a multicultural background, and also the challenges of not fully belonging to a single culture.

She has co-led biligual moms groups addressing topics such as parenting, personal growth, depression, and anxiety.

Susan enjoys working with young and older adults, individuals and couples. She is passionate about working with individuals who have experienced developmental trauma and also desires to provide a space where they can be heard and seen, and where God can heal and restore. Susan believes that the transformation process also involves understanding the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit and pursuing growth in all these areas.
Susan enjoys spending time with her husband and four children. She loves her daily walks by the lake and being in nature as much as possible. She also loves reading, especially biographies and historical fiction.
