Intro

Hello!  I'm Susanne (she/her) and I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist in RI.  I'm also authorized by PSYPACT to practice in 42 states so probably where ever you live, I can help!  I'm passionate about getting to know people beneath the surface and to help them understand themselves better.  There's often so much pressure to "fit in" but the better we understand ourselves, the more we can appreciate our unique way of being and thinking.  This is always a good thing!  Plus it helps everyone to "see" and appreciate each other more too!

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I have always felt different and found my home with those who are quirky and artistic.  I am inspired by those who live in their genuine truths and I aspire to be part of a larger community that values and supports the amazing array of human diversity.  When I became a mother and had a son who is on the spectrum and a daughter with ADHD it deepened my love and expanded my heart.  The opportunity to provide support through my skills and training is very meaningful and an important part of my advocacy.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

Many people struggle with recognizing their innate beauty.  Each person is a wonder and I strive to help people live in their curiosity and delight rather than fear and shame.  This is the heart of creativity, joy and connection.
