Hannah endeavors to be alongside folks wherever they are at, and she sees therapy as one tool in a much wider scope of caring for each other within systems of oppression. She brings to her practice a deep understanding of how our identities impact our experience of the world. Hannah hopes to support individuals to feel seen and heard, and to be a witness to the stories of their past and present. She believes in healing through relationship.
Hannah utilizes a range of modalities based on the needs of each person. Hannah is training in EMDR, and incorporates other approaches including somatic experiencing, movement and art.
