About Hannah

    • Traveling and music are my love languages

    • Mom to my 8 year old French Bulldog, who kicks me off the couch more times than I can count

    • I live to eat and love trying new foods

    • Originally from Boston, Massachusetts (and proud of it!)

  • My approach to mental health therapy is rooted in a holistic psychological framework that honors the complexity of the human experience. By integrating evidence-based interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I support clients in building resilience, cultivating empowerment, and developing effective problem-solving skills. I work collaboratively with each individual, compassionately challenging them to gain deeper insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Within the safety of a genuine therapeutic relationship, clients are encouraged to explore and transform patterns that no longer serve them, fostering lasting growth and emotional well-being.

  • In the therapy room, my goal is to be a consistent, grounding presence—someone you can rely on as you face life’s stressors, trauma, and transitions. I believe that building resilience is key to long-term emotional wellness, and I’m here to support you in identifying your strengths, deepening self-awareness, and moving toward meaningful personal goals. Through compassionate, trauma-informed therapy, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where healing begins and lasting change becomes possible.

  • Hannah is now offering board-certified individual and group supervision for Residents in Counseling in the state of Virginia.

    In my clinical work, I often support who I’ve come to think of as the “overwhelmed achiever” — high-’functioning’ adults navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, ADHD, trauma, and major life transitions.

    I’m passionate about trauma-informed and culturally responsive care, while helping clients who may look “put together” on the outside but are carrying a lot internally.
