Hi! I’m Hannah.
I’m the type of therapist who shows up as down to earth–I will believe in your strengths and will work hard by your side to help you grow. I am warm, direct, and have a sense of humor.
My clients tell me I just “get it.” They tell me have a good, calming vibe and they say things like, “You can handle the weight of what I am sharing without scaring you off.”
I provide therapy for adults:
I help empower people who have negative childhood or past relationship experiences which are taking a toll in their current adult relationships and life.
Maybe the adults in your childhood did not model healthy, loving relationships. Or maybe you’ve felt deeply hurt in your past. You want it to be better by now, but you feel resentful, anxious, or detached. You might be a people-pleaser. You might think things like: “There must be something wrong with me because I choose the wrong people,” “Being in treated this way is a part of life and it is my job to make my partner happy,” “I am unlovable and I can’t depend on anyone; Something is inherently wrong with me.”
Through therapy, you put the past in the past, love yourself, and be fully present as you create a better life & relationship in the present. You will no longer feel guilty about setting boundaries and you can feel comfortable in your skin.
I also provide couples therapy:
I help disconnected couples learn how to reconnect and speak the same language.
Many of my couples have one partner who is more “analytical” and one partner who is more of a “feeler.” Because of this, it can feel like you are speaking two different languages. You feel resentful, hurt–but hopeful it can be better. It’s also possible that one or both of you had a very tough childhood. You find it difficult to express your needs. Or you feel attacked by the other when they open up to you. You might be thinking things like: “We get into the same arguments; My partner doesn’t listen or understand me; My partner doesn’t do the fair share in this relationship; They will never understand me; I am hard to love.”
Through therapy, you heal these painful patterns and learn much more enjoyable ways to understand each other and connect. You both deserve to feel cared for.
On a personal note…
As a therapist, I am not immune to the human condition. I have found a great deal of healing through my own personal therapy at many points in my life. It has helped me learn about myself and strengthen my relationships.
I am originally from the Bay Area and lived in Southern California for several years. In addition to being a therapist, I am an avid thrifter, true crime enthusiast, and aspiring bookworm. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my partner and loved ones, being outside in nature, and going to the movies.
