Susannah Kavanaugh
As a counselor, Susannah has worked with individuals, couples, and families within Community Service Agencies as well as within her own private practice. Additionally, Susannah has contributed as a member of an Oversight Committee for her own family’s complex trust for 30+ years. As a young adult, Susannah developed foundational financial skills including budgeting and expense tracking. As she continued her education pertaining to the extensive foray of investments that exist to create and to maintain wealth, she experienced the feeling that money competence eluded her. Only when she explored her relationship with money, the messages that she internalized as a child about money, and how money impacted her perceptions of life, did she begin to experience peace in her relationship with money.
Susannah will be the first to tell you that gently and curiously evaluating your relationship is a process and a journey and that she is still learning about herself and her relationship with money. Susannah is passionate about collaborating with her clients to identify the money blocks that impede their success and guide them to shift their thoughts, perspectives, and behaviors related to their money matters.
Skills
Today, Susannah is honored to partner with clients to empower them to view money as a tool to generate lives filled with passion and a strong sense of self-worth. Through examination of personal values and goals, she collaborates with clients to create an action plan geared toward bringing those values and goals to life.

Susannah is an ardent believer that we all need a team to support us to reach financial success, whatever that means to each and every one of us, and, that we deserve to have people on our team that are true advocates for our personal and financial well-being.

“Susannah provided me with such an incredible experience as my money coach. She is armed with fantastic tools and was very easy to work with. I had several “Aha” moments while we dug into my past money memories. The 4 sessions doing the core process were invaluable and have allowed me to open my eyes to my beliefs and values – what works and what doesn’t. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Susannah for being such a wonderful money coach.”

“Unconsciously, we accept that money is our greatest resource, but then we feel we have wasted, neglected, abused, avoided, or coveted it. Secretly, we feel guilty and ashamed and are unable to communicate these feelings to others.”
