You can experience more fulfillment in your life and relationships! I’m here to support you.

Hi! I’m Hannah.

I’m the type of therapist who shows up as down to earth–I will believe in your strengths and will work hard by your side to help you grow.  I am warm, direct, and have a sense of humor.

My clients tell me I just “get it.”  They tell me have a good, calming vibe and they say things like, “You can handle the weight of what I am sharing without scaring you off.”

I provide therapy for adults:

I help to empower people who have experienced childhood or relational trauma (abuse, neglect, betrayal) build healthy relationships and self compassion.

My clients start therapy feeling resentful, anxious, or detached. They might be a people-pleaser. They grew up with emotionally immature parents or they have been in abusive relationships. “There must be something wrong with me because I choose the wrong people; Being in abused is a part of life and it is my job to make my partner happy; I can’t express my needs; I am unlovable; I can’t depend on anyone; Something is inherently wrong with me,” are all thoughts that are common for my clients.

Through therapy, they feel at ease.  They no longer feel guilty about setting boundaries and they feel comfortable in their skin. 

I also provide couples therapy:

I help disconnected couples learn how to reconnect and speak the same language.

My couples start therapy feeling resentful, hopeful, and hurt. Often, one or either had a very tough childhood. They find it difficult to express their needs. They feel attacked by the other when the other expresses needs. They care a lot about each other and enjoy each other. They don’t know how to communicate their desires because that would be vulnerable and vulnerability feels scary. “We get into the same arguments; My partner doesn’t listen to me; My partner doesn’t do the fair share of housework; They will never understand me; I am hard to love,” are all things they may think or share in therapy.

Through therapy, they feel ease with their partner. They feel cared for and connected.

On a personal note…

As a therapist, I am not immune to the human condition. I have found a great deal of healing through my own personal therapy at many points in my life. It has helped me learn about myself and strengthen my relationships.

I am originally from the Bay Area and lived in Southern California for several years. In addition to being a therapist, I am an avid thrifter, true crime enthusiast, and aspiring bookworm. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my partner and loved ones, being outside in nature, and going to the movies.
