Susannah-Joy specializes in therapy for trauma, including Acute Stress Disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, and Developmental Trauma. She has extensive experience locally and globally working with First Responders, adult survivors of childhood abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, & psychological) victims of violent crime, intimate partner violence,  refugees, military (active duty & retired), victims of war, and human rights abuses. She also has years of experience working with individuals and families dealing with medical trauma, chronic health conditions, and catastrophic diagnoses. Susannah-Joy holds safe and confidential space for people wounded by life to process and resolve painful experiences which have impacted quality of life. Focusing on the specific needs of each individual client or couple, she brings years of experience to the therapy room, a huge toolbox of techniques and interventions, and unshakeable compassion throughout the process.

​

Her interest in trauma blossomed early, in the context of academics. Susannah-Joy came to recognize that many individuals are traumatized, through no fault of their own, in the effort to get an education. This experience led her to pursue an understanding of trauma in all its forms and she continually adds  to her knowledge and experience as a specialist in this area of clinical practice. 

​

Fun fact: Susannah-Joy thinks one of the best things in the world is spying on fishes. So far, she's been able to snorkel while visiting Egypt, St. Kitts & Nevis, the Maldives, and Belize.
