Hannah (she/her) is a therapist working with children (ages 5 and above), adolescents, adults, and families. Hannah's therapeutic approach is rooted in connection and collaboration through person-centered and strength-based practices. Within a session, Hannah aims to listen with curiosity and compassion, to encourage a therapeutic space that cultivates self-exploration, personal growth and healing. She strives to support folks as they build self awareness and embrace their innate strengths and capabilities. Her work with individuals is somatically oriented and draws from a variety of modalities such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy and Mindfulness. Based on individual client needs, Hannah will incorporate play and creativity (projects, games and activities) into sessions.

Hannah has experience and interest in supporting folks throughout the lifespan in managing anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, managing burnout and compassion fatigue, building self awareness and compassion, navigating illness (especially, cancer), anticipatory grief and grief/loss.

Hannah has a special interest in supporting folks in their parenting journey. From those who are considering and adjusting to parenthood, to those who are more seasoned, and are finding that as their children grow and change, they are also wanting to adapt as a parent. Topics of focus may include, exploration of parenting style and identity, nurturing open and honest relationships, parenting through illness or loss, and support and validation for the feelings of overwhelm that can arise during one of life's biggest experiences.

Hannah holds both an undergraduate and graduate degree in Social Work, receiving her Masters in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Michigan School of Social Work. Hannah has spent her career working with children, teens and families in a variety of settings including nonprofit organizations and schools. Most recently, she spent a decade working in the field of childhood bereavement, supporting individuals and families following the death of someone in their lives.

Hannah has an ongoing commitment to her own learning and continued growth as a therapist, and she is dedicated to providing a supportive, affirming space for clients of all identities, expressions, and abilities.

Hannah grew up in Ann Arbor and feels honored to be providing care in a community that means so much to her.
