“Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is show up.”
About Hanna
Hello and welcome!
Life and healing can be messy and exploring different parts of ourselves is vulnerable. You don't have to navigate that path alone. It is my privilege to walk alongside my clients as they work towards healing and creating meaningful change. I am trauma informed and practice through a Health At Every Size lens while applying approaches such as EMDR, ACT, Self-Compassion and mindfulness. I enjoy working one on one with clients as well as in groups to provide collective healing and community. I take a collaborative approach with clients to explore their strengths, instill hope and teach skills to develop autonomy and attunement.

Values that drive my practice
Curiosity. Compassion. Bravery. Empowerment. Connection
I approach my therapeutic work using these values:
Curiosity: I believe when we apply curiosity to our story, behaviors, patterns and struggles we can have a deeper understanding of them and why they developed.
Compassion: Compassion with ourselves is the foundation of meaningful change and growth.
Bravery: Healing takes bravery. My hope is to provide a place where we can continuously practice bravery in our reflections and actions.
Empowerment: I believe you are the expert of yourself. My hope is therapy can be a tool to guide you back to your own wisdom and uncover the answers inside of you opposed to external answers.
Connection: Meeting you as a human first so we can create meaningful change together.
