Experience & Expertise
Susan has worked with over 2,000 individuals and considers herself a master of transformation, drawing on a diverse set of approaches—like therapy animals (the gentlest of healers), her soul-based watercolor class, and Somatic Experiencing®—to help clients find their natural rhythm.
In the future, Susan looks forward to working in community-based programs such as Palo Verde Behavioral Health's Outpatient Program doing painting as processing and Equanimity's Somatic Experiencing® Equine programs.
Susan is happy to report that she has integrated all of her loves—her three adult children, the Sonoran Desert, horses, watercolor painting, teaching, and volunteering—into her everyday life, all while working with the magic of relationships. She sees each day as a work of art and enjoys all forms of painting and expressions of nature at home.
