Susan is a white cisgender female, pansexual identified licensed psychologist (PSY 21766) and certified grief educator who has been working in mental health, social services, and educational settings for over 30 years. She has extensive training and experience in individual, couples, family, and group therapy, as well as mentorship and supervision of candidates for licensure as psychologists in California. As Susan’s journey has included many years of working through eating disorder recovery and significant grief and loss issues, she feels privileged to witness and support others who are struggling with these challenges.
Susan is particularly interested in cultural, identity, eating, grief and loss, parenting, life transition, and sexual orientation issues while sustaining a professional passion about community mental health, social justice, and the interface between psychology and religion. Her therapeutic approach is integrative with an emphasis on interpersonal, imaginal, existential, feminist, and psychodynamic perspectives. Susan also draws on alternative treatment modalities to talk therapy such as expressive arts, mindfulness, and somatic practices.
