About Susan

Have years in the military, as a first responder, or in work that puts you face-to-face with the worst days of other people's lives left you carrying more than you talk about? Or are you carrying a loss that doesn't feel like something you're supposed to still be struggling with? I work extensively with military members, first responders, and others carrying complex trauma, using EMDR as a core part of my approach. My EMDR training goes well beyond the basic level, I hold the EMDRIA Certified Therapist credential, which reflects hundreds of hours of documented clinical practice and supervised consultation beyond initial training. Current research shows that EMDR delivered virtually produces outcomes comparable to in-person sessions for many clients, so distance and scheduling shouldn't stand between you and support that actually helps. I'm also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Levels 1 and 2, which I often draw on alongside EMDR when trauma has left different parts of you feeling stuck or in conflict. I'm an approved provider under the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program, with extensive experience supporting Indigenous clients and communities. If you're a First Nations or Inuit client covered under NIHB, I can bill directly so cost isn't a barrier to getting support. Grief work is personal to me. After losing a close family member, I understand firsthand what it means to carry a loss that others don't always know how to sit with, and that continues to shape how I show up for clients navigating grief of their own. If this resonates, reach out to Alysha, our Intake Coordinator, for a free 20-minute consultation to see if I would be the right fit.
