With years of experience as a criminologist, Susan teaches strategies to stabilize rage, address trauma, and guide families through challenges such as grief, youth violence, bullying, and the impacts of incarceration. She provides consultations and interventions that help families navigate education, medical, legal, and mental health systems — always with the goal of safety and a positive path forward.
