Specialties
Suzanne works with individuals, teens, parents, couples, and families experiencing family distress, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, and loss. She provides EMDR therapy to clients seeking to heal from past trauma or feeling “stuck” in recurring patterns that impact daily life.
She also specializes in coaching through the lens of Bowen Family Systems Theory, helping individuals explore identity, relationships, and family history to create meaningful, lasting change.
As Clinical Director of Olive Branch Therapy Group, Suzanne supports both clients and clinicians—providing guidance, supervision, and leadership to ensure high-quality, compassionate care across the practice.
Suzanne believes everyone has the capacity to create change and improve their lives. She is motivated by the opportunity to help others clarify their goals, unlock their strengths, and step into their best selves.

Suzanne values the therapist-client relationship as a meaningful partnership and honors the time and commitment it takes to achieve real progress. She often incorporates humor, empathy, and clarity to create a supportive and effective therapeutic space.
Suzanne's Approach
A little about Suzanne
Outside of her role at Olive Branch, Suzanne enjoys spending time with her family, cheering on her two sons, playing with her dog Ranger, and watching hockey, basketball, and football.
She also loves riding her Peloton, cooking for friends and family, gardening (novice attempts welcome), and reading a great novel.
