Susie is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 23 years of nursing experience, including more than a decade focused on perinatal mental health and substance use care. She works closely with pregnant and postpartum patients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and substance use concerns, providing evidence-based, pregnancy-safe treatment tailored to each individual’s clinical and life circumstances.
Susie has extensive experience supporting individuals in high-stress and public-facing roles, where stigma and professional pressures can delay access to mental health care. This background informs her thoughtful, trauma-informed approach to perinatal care, particularly for patients balancing mental health, recovery, and the demands of pregnancy or early motherhood. Her compassionate, judgment-free style fosters a safe and supportive environment focused on healing, stability, and long-term wellbeing for both parent and baby.
