My Philosophy
Hannah firmly believes in a client-centered approach, tailoring her therapeutic interventions to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. She fosters a warm and nonjudgmental environment, establishing a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust and empathy. Drawing from an eclectic theoretical orientation, which includes cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and humanistic perspectives, she skillfully integrates different therapeutic modalities to suit the specific needs of her clients. Additionally, because she believes in continuity of care and placing the client’s needs above everything else; therefore if you start therapy with Hannah and believe it is not the right fit, she will work with you to get established with the right care and support that is right for you. She has a genuine passion for helping individuals discover their inner strengths, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and achieve personal growth and fulfillment.
