Susan has been wonderful to work with. She has really helped me to build my self esteem, navigate challenges in relationships/work and feeling less anxious in general. I appreciate how she teaches me to challenge my thoughts and thus, control my anxiety. I strongly recommend her as she’s an amazing therapist.

- LMHC, LCMHC
I am a licensed mental health therapist in the state of Florida with over twenty-five years of counseling experience working with individuals, couples and family systems in a therapeutic capacity to promote constructive solutions that lead clients to live more positive and productive lives. I have worked with clients to address a variety of issues, to include depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem and family conflict.
As a therapist, I strive to provide my clients with a consistent level of compassion and support, ensuring to respect clients' diversity and life experiences. I utilize a whole-person approach, implementing cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to assist clients in reaching their identified goals.
I firmly believe that in life we always have some form of control, including the ability to change the things that are not working for us. If you are ready for change, I would love to join you on your journey!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amazing therapist. She’s understanding, I feel heard, provides great feedback.
Susan was incredibly helpful working with me through my relationship and self esteem issues. The tools that I learned through speaking with her have become habit and I am thrilled to say that I have left better than I came. The feeling is amazing and I owe much of that to her.
Susan has helped me so much over the past few months to be more assertive, know my worth, be confident and uphold boundaries. She helps me to question my beliefs and is understanding of my Vietnamese cultural norms. I really like working with Susan.
Susan is the best therapist I've ever had.
Susan has truly been an incredible therapist. She is so encouraging, understanding and makes me feel heard. She helps me to see things in a more positive perspective. I have seen tremendous growth in my assertiveness and self confidence by working with her over the past few months. I'm really grateful for Susan.
susan is very kind and i genuinely enjoy our sessions together. she doesn’t make me feel judged and i feel as though i can open up easier to her than other therapists i’ve had
Susan has been a great listener and a very big support to me in trying to achieve my mental health goals.
I truly feel that talking with Susan just over the past 2 sessions have really helped me reframe the challenges that I'm going through. Susan is a very attentive listener and makes an effort to understand how cultural norms influence my beliefs and behaviors. She sent me useful worksheets and chapters in self esteem to help me work on adjusting my negative core beliefs. She's incredible!
Top notch
I have been working with Susan for a short time. I am new to the Betterhelp platform. So far Susan has been awesome. I have benefited from our video sessions. She is extremely responsive and very helpful. She has a firm understanding of the issues I am dealing with. Her suggestions, feedback, insight and advice is on the money. In the short time we have been working together she has been a tremendous help and things on my end are improving faster than I imagined they could.
