How I’d describe myself: bubbly, positive, fun, loving, open.
If I win the lottery, the first thing I’d buy is a golf cart.
My favorite band of all time is the Spice Girls.
I have never owned a car (although that may change soon).
I worked at a bakery for six years and I cannot bake.
I’ve traveled to 18 countries and my favorites are Italy and Portugal. I want to travel to South Africa and Japan next.
I majored in advertising in undergrad and decided corporate America isn’t for me, so I went to grad school to be a mental health therapist.
I went skydiving and jumped out at 11,000 feet up in the air.
My morning routine since 2015 has been coffee, breakfast, and an episode of Friends.
My idea of a perfect day is spin class, visiting a coffee shop, sitting outside in the sunshine with a good book, having dinner with family/friends, and going to bed early.
I hope to travel to all 50 states by the time I’m 50. I have 29 left to visit!

“Being a middle aged woman I’ve found it hard to trust and connect. OMG, Hannah has been amazing. She is wise beyond her years and very inspiring. She challenges me and provides the tools to help me grow. Thanks Hannah...Forever grateful.”

"Happiness is not: getting everything you want or controlling the things around you. Happiness is: the freedom that comes when you stop constantly craving for more and when you can embrace change without fear."

Hi! I’m Hannah, and I’m glad you’re here.

When you work with me, you’ll find a patient and understanding therapist who meets you right where you are, guiding you through the tough questions and challenges life throws your way.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my openness and the safe space I create for them to be vulnerable and grow.

I focus on building trust and connection so you feel genuinely supported.

What do you need most in this moment?

In our sessions, I'm all about patience and openness, creating room for vulnerability and honest feedback.

Together, we'll set clear goals for long-term success.

Using a blend of techniques like ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed CBT that best fit you,I can help you find coping skills for managing distress, regulate your emotions, and create a space where you feel heard and understood.
