Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the human brain to change as a result of one’s experience. All areas of the brain may be plastic even after childhood. This suggests one can literally change the structure of one’s brain thus developing greater capacity to resolve problems through intelligent therapeutic guidance.

  Susan specializes in couples therapy and trauma.   Susan has developed many tools and organized her therapeutic process to meet the needs of her patients.  She has recently begun to incorporate Mindfulness in her work with individuals and couples.

Individual and group sessions are available for those who are experiencing issues with retirement or a loss of a spouse.

Through intelligence and compassion, Susan guides patients to develop skills to identify the real problem.  It is only when the real problem is discovered that one can begin to find solutions.  More and more she is finding that Mindfulness is extremely helpful in this process.  This can be as simple as a few minutes of relaxation at the beginning or end of the session.

Mindfulness allows your brain to rest, it is only then that you can access Mind in order to bring through insight.  Susan has worked with anxiety and depression extensively, she has found that Mindfulness is extremely helpful in these areas.

Susan has had over 17 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy.  She received her BA in film and anthropology from New York University.  She has her Master's degree in marriage and family therapy from National University in San Diego. She is licensed in New York and Connecticut.
