I am a professional counselor and psychotherapist and hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology. I have been in private practice since 1981 providing counseling and psychotherapy services to individuals, couples and groups. In the last few years, I have helped many through couples counseling and marriage counseling.
I am also certified as a life coach having received my life coaching training in 1999 through The Coaches Training Institute (CTI) of San Rafael, CA. CTI is one of the original coaching training organizations in the country and known as one of the best, as well. Importantly, I am thoroughly trained in both my life coaching and counseling disciplines.
I have been quoted as an expert by publications such as the Boston Globe, Boston Magazine, Women’s Day Magazine, The Hometown Weekly, Dover Sherborn and Natick Patch, and The Boston Parents Paper. I was on NBC in May 2017 as a couples expert.
Through the years, I have taught personal life coaching workshops entitled: “Intro to Personal Life Coaching”, “Discovering Your Life Purpose”, “Preparation and Readiness: Finding Your Life Partner” and “Finding Fulfillment in Your Life”.
I am single-mindedly committed to helping individuals and couples create satisfying, meaningful, successful and happy lives for themselves and have been doing just that for decades.
It is hard to find a therapist more experienced than me. My best clients are those who have tried other providers.
Please note that I have moved from Sherborn, MA to Redmond, WA and all sessions are now conducted over online video or phone. Therefore, health and safety is no obstacle to getting expert help, nor will weather or traffic interfere.

What my clients have to say
Susan provided us with the tools we needed to make our marriage stronger, healthier and happier. Susan taught us how to communicate better, to understand where the other spouse is coming from, and to take responsibility for our own negative behaviors. Because of her counseling, we are happier people--both as individuals and as a couple. Susan is very direct and she provides concrete ways in which we can improve our marriage. We are grateful to Susan for what she has done for us.

Susan is a remarkably insightful therapist who guided my husband and me through a devastating time in our marriage. She was patient, empathetic, and able to grasp the crucial issues that were holding us back from saving our relationship. Susan was able to understand those hurdles and then take us one - and two and three - steps farther so we could finally see each other's viewpoint. Those aha moments happened repeatedly. We could not have gotten there without her help. We had been to a therapist before finding Susan but there was no comparison. We felt safe with Susan. We felt as if Susan cared whether our marriage came apart, or if we were emotionally healthy. She made us strong - as a couple and individually. That is the definition of an excellent therapist. We would return to Susan in a heartbeat and highly recommend her practice.

Susan is extremely perceptive and compassionate when it comes to couples counseling. She's a great listener, and has amazing recall. She is skilled at understanding a complex dynamic, and providing just the right common sense advice. She is even-handed, patient, and wise. My wife and I are truly fortunate to have found her.

When I met Susan two and a half years ago I could never have imagined the journey we were about to embark on together. I first saw Susan for marriage counseling and since then she has become my confidante and my friend. There is nothing I can't say to her. She is incredibly patient, listens intently, never judges, provides actionable insight and, most importantly, she genuinely cares. I feel lucky to have met her and would recommend her (and have) to anyone seeking support or growth - individually or as a couple.

I have worked with Susan for individual counseling and couples counseling. I can say, without exaggeration, that her combination of empathy, strength, patience, compassion and insight have helped keep my marriage together and my emotional life safe, and my physical health has also improved. I cannot recommend her enthusiastically enough.
