Client Success Stories

When we started working with Susan, we had both been previously married. There had been infidelity from the beginning and while it was deeply painful for both of us, we felt the desire to save this marriage. We had seen other therapists and counselors making little progress. We were almost ready to throw in the towel when we met Susan. We made more progress in our marriage with Susan than any previous practitioner we had worked with and know there is a path forward.

- Susan’s abilities are a rare gift to be experienced. After our sessions we had an extraordinary sense of upliftment, clarity, hope, faith, and understanding. She is a coach whose skills delve into deep levels that reveal hidden issues for healing that we didn’t even know were there in our marriage. We were separated when we began our coaching journey and now are back together living in our marital home again.

We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for working with Susan. Her guidance has truly helped us gain clarity about our relationship journey, reassuring us that the challenges we face in our personal and professional lives are temporary and we can more gracefully navigate them. It has  been a pleasure, has had us grow closer, and we are so thankful  for the insights and growth we received.

Susan really helped us move forward as a couple at a time when we felt stuck and unsure about our future. It took courage to ask for support but once we started we were amazed at how quickly things transformed. Susan has a unique ability to “get you and who you are” quickly. We worked with her both individually and as a couple, gained new insights about ourselves, and found new, effortless ways of relating to each other and today we are now happier in our marriage than we were for years.

-D.L. & S.L. Minneapolis, MN

Our marriage started out great but somewhere along the line, we became disconnected, were in constant conflict about both little and big things. We tried counseling, but it didn’t help to just talk about everything. Working with Susan has been a blessing and within a few weeks, we knew we could find our way back to one another and rebuild this marriage. We couldn’t imagine life without each other, but we couldn’t figure out what to do to. Having the marriage we have is worth everything!

Working with Susan has been essential in these extraordinary times. She infuses sharp insight, strength, fluidity, into the consistent progression of this marriage. We would be 1000 miles behind and lost in the fog has we not worked with Susan on both our internal relationships with ourselves and our relationship journey together. She has had a remarkable and inspiring impact on our lives and our marriage.

-A.F. & C.O. - NY, New York

When we started working with Susan, infidelity had plagued our marriage even though it has been years. Trust had been broken, communication became conflict, and we didn’t know if we would make it. Her process is so well thought out and thorough. It has concepts and strategies we hadn’t thought of, and we came back together in such a beautiful, connected way. We are enjoying our renewed life together and time with our son and daughter who get to see two happy parents in love.

-SR & RR - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

For the past 8 years, Susan has and continues to guide me through my relationship and marriage journey. She supported me and helped me navigate the unbearable path of losing my first husband to brain cancer. I can’t imagine how I would have made it through and even stepped back into dating again without her powerful insights and healing methods. From the time of the devastating loss of my husband to being able to date and get remarried, she gently provided us with the foundations and building tools to attract and develop a healthy relationship in a second marriage. I will also say that Susan’s insights are spot on about marriage, I trust her instincts and direction like a beacon of light.

When we started working with Susan, we had some issues in our marriage that we really needed to repair. Dyring our time we got some great information had never considered, improved our communication, and trust which were the biggest issues and loved her process. We have been trending upwards and are excited about where our marriage is going. What Susan offers is very tangible and gives us a blueprint moving forward. We so appreciate where we are and how much we have progressed!

-L & M Cook - Gadsden, Alabama

Even before we got married, we had constant conflict and constant fighting. We kept talking over each other, yelling, and didn’t know how to communicate in a healthy way. It affected our marriage in general, our work, our family, and we were looking into a possible separation. Susan has shown us how to make our marriage a healthy one with a blended family and we are finally in flow. We thank Susan for all the fantastic coaching that helped us move forward in a better way and keep our marriage and family together.

- PW and JW Honolulu, Hawaii

We had no idea how in the world we would ever heal our marriage. We seemed far away after so many years on a few of our core values and even towards the latter part of our work with Susan we knew we have to make a decisio to stay together and continue to work on ourselves and our marriage or end it. Both of us had been married previously so the idea of divorce was not appealing. We felt stuck, frustrated, but somehow with the guidance of both Susan and Rick found a together looking at what we did enjoy together vs. focusing on or differences.  We grew tremendously through the process and are grateful we took the leap!

- CM & RM, Baltimore , Maryland

Infidelity is a painful process and broke down the trust in our marriage. I was ready to leave but my husband said he did want to work on things, earn my trust again, and show our daughters what a good marriage looked like. He felt a a lot of shame about what he had done but through our work with Susan, we were able to heal the shame we both felt, what had happened leading up to the infidelity and how to create a path forward with trust and honesty.  If not for our work with her, I know I would have file for divorce, but I know we are both grateful to have " us" back , healed, and excited about out future together.

 - MM, Grand Rapids, Minnesota

When we came to Susan, we felt we were two steps from ‘done’. Even after a few weeks, we didn’t know if we would make it but then things started to change. Our communication has been filled with triggers, causing conflict, our trust was barely there, and there had been some indiscretions we had to work through. It was tough to navigate all of that but with Susan’s support, we learned what we needed to do and just became lighter, more capable as a married couple with tools to handle and heal what had come our way. We are happily together and plan to stay that way! Susan has incredible patience, knowledge, and compassion!

Susan’s ability to pinpoint issues in our marriage was truly amazing. We thought our issues were about one thing and Susan helped us uncover the real issues we had in our marriage. Once we uncovered the truth, we were able to finally heal and gain the skills we needed to have the marriage we always wanted. We are so grateful for this journey.

– L.M. & M.M - Westchester, NY

We were only married a short time when we realized we needed help. We constantly argued in circles and couldn’t figure out how to break that cycle. We had kids and they sadly got exposed to the constant fighting. Susan taught us the skills we needed to get out of the ‘spin’ and finally resolve issues that we carried for years.

- JL & BGL - Blaine, MN

Working with Susan has been so helpful. I don’t think my husband and I would still be married if we hadn’t done this work. Susan brings some unique processes to the table. Her techniques and tools have been game changers. I feel so much better about myself and clearer about who I am now. My husband and I feel so much better as a couple and have a vision for our future again. I highly recommend Susan for any marriage issue!
