Testimonials
We started working with Suzette when we had a pretty big disagreement that we couldn't discuss without getting upset or coming to a solution. We needed help and began relationship coaching with Suzette. After our very first session, we felt hope and knew everything was going to be okay. Suzette does an excellent job at facilitating and observing a conversation between the two of us. She is able to see things from a birds eye view, not take sides, and really help us get to the root of the challenge. She helped us see that conflict is essential in a relationship and taught us how to move through it and come out with a deeper understanding and connection with one another. We went into the coaching with goals and Suzette kept us on track and helped us accomplish them in our 6 sessions together. We plan to continue working with Suzette just for maintenance!

Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I feel for being on the journey of self development with Suzette. She's helped open my eyes to different perspectives and taught me to have courage to work through things that I once thought was impossible with someone with extreme differences. Each time I have worked with Suzette and with my partner we have come out stronger. I have defined myself better and walk with more integrity both individually and relationally. I get teary thinking about where I was and who I am now and could not recommend her enough. One of the things I love the most is her passion for helping others through relationship challenges.

Working with Suzette helped me understand how to be in a partnership where we have some pretty big dissimilarities, even to the level of what is right and wrong, what is true and what is not. She had great tools, such as finding your most important values (what you really care about, and looking for what the other person really cares about), feeling your feelings instead of thinking them, the path to becoming more differentiated, and learning the nuances of different types of boundaries. What I appreciated most is that she has come to this topic after working through this exact type of conflict in her own partnership. She knew it could be done. Her confidence inspired me.

We had been to other therapists before but remained stuck. With the help of Suzette, we were able to have important conversations that we had not been able to have before. We were able to talk about things that needed to be talked about.
