ABOUT SUSAN

I became a Life Coach because it allows me to bring all parts of myself to my work helping people change their lives. As a social worker and psychotherapist, I learned to listen to the deeper messages about what people want for their lives. As an Employee Assistance consultant, I learned where to find the resources people need to make their lives work better. As a specialist in traumatic stress, I learned about the incredible strength, resourcefulness and resilience of people as they face life’s greatest challenges. As a wife and mother, I learned the value of humor and perspective in building a family and intimate relationships. Now, as a life coach, my great joy is to inspire people to move beyond the barriers that have held them back.

I love working with people in transition: people feeling stale in their jobs and looking for something new; women whose children are growing up and who finally have time to focus on themselves; people beginning to raise a family and trying to figure out how to balance everything; people adjusting to being in a committed partnership and people adjusting to being newly single.

My commitment to you is to help you refine your goals, develop effective strategies for reaching them, and to inspire you to create your life with passion and excitement.

“Being coached by Susan was FUN! This was unbelievably refreshing and energizing after undergoing years of painful therapy.  As a largely healed incest survivor, I knew I could include and account for my history of trauma in the context of coaching, without it being a distraction or unneeded focus.  It was a wonderful safety net to know that she has so much clinical experience as a therapist, even though we did not do therapy.”
