With four years of clinical experience, Hannah has focused much of her work on trauma and trauma-related conditions, supporting people who have experienced sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, and neglect. She also provides care for concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, anger, and coping with life changes.

Hannah’s style is warm and person-centered, emphasizing respect and empathy while offering appropriate challenge to help clients make meaningful changes. Grounded in cognitive behavioral principles, she helps clients identify unhelpful or automatic thoughts, develop more balanced beliefs, and learn practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In sessions she and the client collaborate to set clear goals and build a plan for progress, using evidence-based techniques and trauma-informed strategies to support growth and day-to-day functioning.
