With over 20 years in the mental health field and 16 years in private practice, Susannah specializes in trauma-informed, relational, and experiential healing work. She integrates somatic awareness, mindfulness, parts work, expressive arts, humor, and nature-based practices into her facilitation approach. She is especially passionate about supporting parents, caregivers, healthcare providers, first responders, neurodivergent adults, individuals healing childhood trauma, and those navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, or major life transitions.
Grounded in licensed clinical practice and the psychotherapy research the trials were built on.
Attention trained before the journey, so the session has something steady to return to when it intensifies.
The outdoors used deliberately: walking, sitting and integrating in the landscape rather than only indoors.
The body read as closely as the conversation: what someone is carrying is often physical before it has words.

I have always felt apprehensive about psychedelics, but I had read the emerging evidence that they can be deeply healing for trauma wounds. Susannah skillfully and compassionately held me in my fears about the medicine. My journey wasn’t easy, but Susannah’s wise, grounded, and loving presence allowed me the reassurance and confidence to trust myself and my heart in the process. While in the medicine, she felt like a protector or an angel for me. That was deeply reassuring. Then, after the journey, using her skills as a psychotherapist, she helped me make sense of what I had experienced and develop a new understanding and internal narrative about my trauma history. Afterwards, with her help, I experienced a sense of liberation from old patterns that had caused such suffering over the course of my life. Now, eleven months later, I look back on that pivotal journey with the medicine and feel gratitude for Susannah’s wise facilitation. She helped me trust the process, integrate insights, and ground my healing in a way that has been lasting.
