Philosophy and Approach

Hannah believes that distress often comes from feeling too different, difficult, or flawed to be accepted, and her work is dedicated to challenging that belief. Her values reflect the core principles of social work: empathy, integrity, social justice, and the power of human relationships. She approaches therapy as a partnership, helping clients access and build on the inner and outer strengths they already possess.

Sessions begin with what feels most pressing to you. If you need solutions quickly, Hannah can keep the focus on problem-solving and coping skills. From there, you can explore the areas of life that bring stress or strength, such as relationships, work, health, family, upbringing, and trauma. She frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and body sensations, along with solution-focused, strengths-based, and trauma-focused approaches and Motivational Interviewing.
