Susan is the founder of Lightworks Counseling, dedicated to transform your life and the way you see yourself, others and the world.

Hi there!
I’m Susan.

My approach to counseling is to be authentic, empathetic, supportive and respectful. I believe it is important to respect and work within the framework of your values, beliefs, culture and spirituality. I have always had the ability to understand and connect with people and believe we can all grow and evolve. Therapy can be hard work and I try to find creative ways to make it fun and interesting.

  • I am the mother of two boys and Miley-the-Cat. I recently served as a Team Mentor for a NCAA National Championship Team at the University of Texas at Austin and enjoy working with student athletes. I am honored to work with several non-profit organizations to provide accessible and affordable care for underserved communities. I love to travel and experience new places and cultures.

  • I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and hold a Master of Arts in Psychology Counseling from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin. I have worked in private practice, a psychiatric hospital and as a volunteer for under-served communities. In my previous career, I served as a Chief Human Resources Officer for AmLaw 100 law firms, global technology and non-profit organizations. I work with the supervision of Sharon Bice.
