"I've known Sue for many years and she has always steered me in the right direction. She is the real deal and her warm blend of knowledge, caring, compassion and wit have helped me through life's struggles."
"I'd tried therapy before and just didn't vibe with anyone. When I met Sue, I immediately felt at ease and in the right hands. Gentle patience and a plethora of knowledge make her a skilled and priceless practitioner."
"Sue's counseling style is amazing. Throughout our work together, hearing Sue tell me what she heard me saying with my words was a very eye opening experience for me. I see myself from a different perspective now. Sue is very good at what she does."
"Sue's empathy and ability to help me see multiple perspectives when I am stuck has been of tremendous help. I never believed I could achieve the insight and growth I've experienced and thank Sue for her trusted support and guidance."
