Susan Bump, LMFT

She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive. Susan offers a calm, open space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgment.

Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep people stuck and on finding clearer ways to cope day to day. Conversations are practical and grounded in what the client wants to change.

Her work pays attention to early attachment and the body’s signals. That means she looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and how the body holds on to emotions.

This combination helps with issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and the lingering effects of abuse or trauma. She also supports people dealing with life stage concerns such as midlife transitions, aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, and questions about purpose.

Other common topics include body image, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and cultivating self-love. Sessions blend talking and somatic awareness to help people notice what they feel and how they react.

Over time clients learn skills to manage anxiety, rebuild trust in relationships, and make choices that fit their goals. Susan describes the process as collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
