First and foremost, Suzi is a mom and wife. It is important to know being a mother and wife influences how she is as a therapist working in the infant and early childhood space and what she has learned as a therapist influences who she is as a mom and wife. Suzi believes that the interconnectedness and integration of who we are and what we have experienced in life, informs what we do and how we show up in the world. Suzi has been interested in working with very young children and their families since she was in graduate school after learning about transgenerational trauma. Supporting teens in the foster care system further solidified her passion to work with the youngest of children and their families to provide preventive and early intervention. The firsthand, personal experiences of being a mom make this work that much more concrete for Suzi. Her experiences as a mom continue to be one of the driving forces of her desire to help other parents, caregivers, and professionals working with infants and young children through difficulty, to find a supportive village, and to support their little ones, themselves, their families, and our communities to thrive.
