Specializing in Couples, Breakups and Dating.

Licensed Therapist + Mentor & Auntie:)

I work with women who don’t have the guidance they need.

For 45 years, I’ve worked with women longing and hoping for a good relationship. (That’s a lot of experience.)

I’m not a lay on the couch kind of therapist, I’m a let’s get you tools and healing to create a relationship that is peaceful and loving. It can be done!

Is This You?

  • You are smart and work hard and have a good career and good friends. 

  • You see your friends have a good relationships.  You feel sadness and longing because you don’t have it. 

  • Your feel stuck with your relationship or dating. You have a pattern you want to break. 

  • You feel pretty lonely in the world. 

  • You may have been told you have abandonment issues. 

  • Maybe people please a bit too much? Overdo for others?

Are you ready?

Hi, I’m Sue.

I am a motherless daughter. My mom died when I was 17. I still needed someone to help me navigate life. Teach me about relationships and be my cheerleader when I was afraid to do something big in life. I found older women to help me along in life and that is what I hope to do for you. I learned and grew and fought hard for a good life. I was determined to build the life I wanted. So If you are determined, I can help you do the same.
