Let's Talk

“It isn’t in my past, it is in my everyday”

- Helen Wilson

Healing from Hidden Wounds: The effects of past abuse, trauma, or painful experiences can stay with you long after the event itself, often showing up in ways you might not even expect. Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or haunted by thoughts and feelings tied to their past. In my practice, I work with individuals who are dealing with unresolved trauma or painful memories from any stage of life—whether childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. These unresolved wounds can lead to unhealthy patterns in relationships, thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and self-esteem, often affecting areas like work, home life, school, or personal connections. Together, we can begin the healing process and break free from these patterns.

Meet Suzanne

I’m originally from the Houston/Gulf Coast area and graduated from the University of Houston at Clear Lake and then began my initial career as a paralegal. In 2010, a transformative experience inspired me to delve into how stressful and negative childhood events contribute to personal and interpersonal challenges in adulthood. This journey ultimately led me to earn my MSW from the University of Texas at Arlington.

Since becoming an LCSW, I have worked as a therapist in many settings. I provided adult individual and group counseling at a local community mental agency, followed by working with teens at the same agency. I am a Level 2 trained IFS therapist working toward certification. Specific IFS trainings include Level 1 Basic IFS and Level 2 IFIO Intimacy from the Inside Out. I’m also trained in EMDR, Relational EMDR, DBT skills, CCPT

In my free time, I love traveling, reading, spending time with family and playing the synthesizer/keyboard in a trio.
