BA, MA, PhD, MA MFT – Candidate, CSAT-Candidate
Suzanne is a Master’s level intern preparing to graduate from Northcentral University in 2024. Her Master’s degree will be in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) with a specialization in Couple and Relationship Therapy. She is currently receiving ongoing training from the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) and is receiving supervision and mentorship from Heidi Kinsella as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT in training).
Suzanne works with individuals, couples, and families impacted by addiction and compulsive behavior, intimate partner betrayal, sexual abuse, trauma, recurring conflict, relationship issues, and family of origin issues.
As a family systems therapist, Suzanne understands that while relationships can bring joy, vitality, and meaning to our lives, they can also bring us deep pain and confusion. How can someone who says they love us hurt us in this way? Suzanne helps clients make sense of what they are experiencing and partners with them as they heal from losses and work to move forward towards a reimagined life.
Suzanne brings deep professional and personal experiences to her work with clients, integrating her “first career” as a teacher and researcher in the social sciences with her own lived experiences with addiction, trauma, and recovery.
Suzanne prioritizes creating safe spaces for clients where they can feel understood, accepted, and heard. She approaches clients with respect, humility, and a deep appreciation for their strengths – including having the courage to reach out for help with their current circumstances. Suzanne believes that positive, transformative change and growth are possible after relational trauma because she has experienced this herself.
Working with Suzanne you can expect an open, non-shaming, collaborative stance; a clinical approach that is trauma informed and tailored to the client’s needs, a research-oriented practitioner who uses empirically tested tools and interventions, and a passionate advocate for equity and social justice.
