Our Children’s Futures Start Today

When working with children and teens, Susan makes therapy fun with educational games and
art therapy including making inspirational bracelets and jewelry (calling all Swifties!) She
believes that creativity in therapy helps provide a safe space for kids to work through their
problems and learn how to build coping skills.

What Susan Does Outside the Office…

Barton Springs to be a magical and healing place.
