As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe taking care of your mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in your life. Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, so if you’re here, you’ve already taken a meaningful first step. I’ve worked in the mental health field for over a decade and specialize in supporting adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.
Hi, I am Susan. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in psychiatry, caring for adults with a wide range of mental health needs. I earned my BSN from Skidmore College, my MSN from Fairfield University, and I also completed training in Behavioral Sleep Medicine and adult sleep disorders at the University of Pennsylvania. Over the years, I have supported adults living with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD, and I have also worked closely with parents and caregivers of children and adult children with special needs.
I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in private practice with an extensive background in social work across diverse settings. My work is grounded in compassion, ethical practice, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Sacred Heart University where I received comprehensive training in clinical practice and evidence-based interventions. I have experience working with adults and older adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including dementia, anxiety, burnout, stress, and the everyday ups and downs of life. My background has equipped me to support clients with both complex clinical needs and the challenges that naturally arise across different life stages.
In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.
We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.
