About me

Hello! I’m Susie

As a psychotherapist, my mission is to provide you with a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore and heal. I deeply believe in the inherent strength that exists within you, even during times when you may feel vulnerable or unsure. Together, we can honor and work through your experiences to help you reclaim your sense of peace, balance, and empowerment.

The process of healing often begins with understanding and acknowledging your story. My approach is deeply rooted in a compassionate, client-centered framework, and I am here to support you in finding clarity and growth. With specialized training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR (Certified), TF-CBT, Mindfulness, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs and goals.

I specialize in supporting women through the transformative years of childbirth and beyond. Whether you’re navigating Perinatal Trauma, Postpartum Mental Health struggles, Maternal Mental Health challenges, or the complexities of Perimenopause, I’m here to help. Additionally, I offer expertise in working with women who have experienced sexual abuse and/or assault, and other life-changing traumatic events. I also support clients in healing from attachment wounds and relationship harm, guiding them toward rebuilding trust and fostering healthier, more fulfilling connections.

I understand that these life experiences can feel isolating, and my hope is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported throughout the therapeutic process. Together, we can explore the complexities of your journey, working toward healing, growth, and a sense of inner strength that can guide you forward.

I am here to support you every step of the way. Please reach out with any questions you may have—I’m happy to help you begin this journey toward a more empowered, fulfilled life.

Evidence Based Therapeutic Modalities

EMDR

Healing Through Guided Processing

EMDR helps individuals process traumatic and stressful memories by using bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional distress, allowing the brain to reframe and heal from painful past experiences.

IFS

Connecting with Your Inner Self for Healing

IFS explores the different “parts” of your personality, helping you understand and integrate the various aspects of yourself (like the nurturing and protective parts) to heal emotional wounds and build inner harmony.

TF-CBT

Changing Thought Patterns to Improve Emotional Well-Being

CBT is a practical, goal-oriented therapy that helps individuals identify and challenge negative or unhelpful thought patterns. By learning to reframe these thoughts, clients can develop healthier coping strategies and improve their emotional responses to everyday situations.

EFT

Building Stronger Bonds Through Emotional Connection

EFT helps individuals and couples understand and express emotions in a safe environment, fostering deeper emotional connections and improving communication to build healthier relationships.

Mindfulness

Staying Present to Create Calm and Clarity

Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment with acceptance and without judgment. This practice helps reduce stress, manage anxiety, and promote emotional balance by becoming more aware of thoughts, feelings, and sensations.

Somatic Awareness

Understanding the Body’s Role in Emotional Healing

Somatic awareness focuses on noticing physical sensations in the body, helping you recognize how emotions are stored and expressed physically. This approach can help release tension, stress, and trauma stored in the body to promote emotional healing.
