(she/her) MSW, Registered Social Worker
Finding the right therapist is about finding someone you feel comfortable with, someone who takes the time to understand you, and someone you can be yourself with.
I'm a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist offering trauma-informed, strengths-based care. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood and having the space to explore what's happening beneath the surface.
Maybe you find yourself overthinking, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, struggling with your relationship with food or your body, or repeating patterns you wish you could change. Perhaps you have a sense that something isn't quite right, but aren't sure where to begin.
Whatever brings you here, we can navigate together. Together, we'll make space to understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and explore new possibilities for how you relate to yourself and the world around you.

Therapy with Hanna
If any of these feel familiar then you might feel at home here…
You find yourself falling into the same patterns, reactions, or habits, even when you're trying hard to do things differently.
You spend a lot of time overthinking, worrying, or feeling anxious, and long to feel more calm, grounded, and at ease in your everyday life.
You sometimes avoid certain feelings, situations, or conversations because they feel uncomfortable or overwhelming, but wish you could approach them with more confidence.
You want to better understand yourself, including why you think, feel, and respond the way you do.
You recognize that some of the ways you've learned to cope aren't serving you anymore, and feel ready to explore new ways of relating to yourself and others.
You want to feel more comfortable with your emotions, rather than feeling controlled, consumed, or overwhelmed by them.
You're looking for a genuine, supportive therapeutic relationship where you can feel understood, show up as you are, and explore meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
Specialized Services
I offer specialized therapy for anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and challenges with emotional wellbeing.
Whether you're feeling stuck in familiar patterns, struggling with difficult emotions, or hoping to develop a healthier relationship with yourself, we'll work together to understand what's happening and find a way forward.

If food, eating, or your body take up more mental space than you'd like, you aren't alone. Perhaps you feel caught between wanting to change your relationship with food and feeling unsure how to get there.
Together, we'll work toward greater food freedom, less anxiety around eating, and a more compassionate relationship with your body.
I offer specialized eating disorder treatment informed by CBT-E, Intuitive Eating, and Health at Every Size (HAES), as well as Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for adolescents and their families.

Sometimes difficult experiences continue to affect us long after they've happened. You might notice yourself feeling on edge, reacting strongly to certain situations, or struggling with memories that feel difficult to move beyond.
EMDR is a therapy approach that can help you process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional intensity associated with them.

Anxiety can make everyday situations feel much harder than they need to be. You might find yourself overthinking, avoiding things that matter to you, or feeling caught in cycles of worry and reassurance-seeking.
Together, we'll work toward understanding your anxiety, gradually building confidence in situations that feel difficult, and helping you spend less time feeling controlled by fear.
Treating OCD, panic attacks, social anxiety, worries/fears, and phobias.

Sometimes emotions can feel bigger than we know how to manage. You might find yourself feeling overwhelmed, reacting in ways you later regret, or struggling to find your footing when things get hard.
Together, we'll develop practical tools to navigate intense emotions, tolerate distress, and feel more confident in how you respond to life's challenges.
This therapy is for you if you’re someone who struggles to control their anger, self-harms when upset, feels overwhelmed with anxiety/sadness, and often feels in crisis.

Struggling families and couples benefit from support to understand the cycles they get stuck in, attune to each other and connect deeply, and learn to communicate more effectively.
