I don't think mental health is something you achieve, but rather something you work your whole life trying to improve and maintain. There are so many reasons why you can't seem to be the best version of yourself - lack of motivation, negative past experiences, fears, and insecurities. And sometimes you just need a space separate from your world to help clarify and better understand yourself and what's standing in your way. My goal is to create an open, trusting, and vulnerable space where you can be your most authentic self - I believe that is the state where insight and change takes place.

Do you have reoccurring memories of unpleasant and distressing times from your past? Do you think you “should have” gotten over it a long time ago? Maybe you find yourself being reactive and struggle to calm down? Are you triggered by everyday experiences and become stressed by things others seem to be unbothered by? Maybe you are struggling with a negative inner voice, self sabotaging and struggling in a battle of what you know, versus how you feel. These are all symptoms of trauma. I use a combination of EMDR, trigger reduction techniques, education to help you understand what is happening, and tools to support you while you heal.

My approach to psychotherapy is founded on the belief that all people carry inherent worth and value. I take a holistic view of clients; people are multidimensional, and every aspect, biological, psychological, social, and spiritual, plays a role in subjective well-being. I rely upon the perspective that clients are the experts of their lives, which is invaluable in tailoring my approach specifically to you. I strongly believe that no one has a monopoly on normality. The nuanced approach I take with every client is rooted in my belief that every person is unique and deserves an approach tailored specifically to them.

NIHB provider. Each and every person that has crossed my path has their own unique life journey, and so needs a unique approach to building tools to move through them. My neuro, gender inclusive therapeutic approach is to gain understanding of who you are and your concerns, and work together to explore tools and solutions unique to you. My focus is on creating space where folx can build their skills in an open and judgment-free environment, where you know you best and I'm here to offer support and guidance. I have extensive experience working with 2SLGBTQ+ youth and adults, and with ENM and polyamory communities.

Currently accepting new clients (as of the week of June 15th, 2026). My style and approach to therapy are influenced by a holistic understanding that we are a composite of our histories and experiences, the intersections of our identities, and socio-cultural understandings and systems. I am also a firm believer that therapy is a collaborative process of growth and discovery between the client and therapist, and while you are the true catalyst for change, it is an honour to be by your side throughout the journey.

Often taking the first step is the hardest. I offer a private and safe space to explore your needs and struggles. Often we lose sight of our greatest strengths in everyday life. I offer acceptance base therapy and then I help you work towards change. Most of my experience has been in individual therapy. I truly enjoy starting an internal journey with you. Different parts of you come alive in the therapy room. When you know yourself and your different parts it is much easier to cope with life's difficulties.
I offer to support parents of ADHD kids (I can strongly resonate with that) and of course, I also accept adults with ADHD.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward? Life can feel heavy at times, and you don’t have to navigate those struggles alone.

We work on the green bottle sliding scale at Fancy Therapy, meaning I can charge from 30-70 dollars for 50 minute individual sessions and 50-90 dollars for family or couples.
Therapy is spontaneous, even if it's not always exciting or fun. This makes it difficult to describe exactly what we'll do in session together. Sometimes it'll be laughing together, other times crying in the shared space. Mostly, we'll talk. You'll help guide me through your inner world and we'll look at how it has grown and is still growing.
Even if we're only together for one brief session, we'll have a conversation and my hope is that it is useful in some way.

Hi, my name is Hannah. I use she/her and they/them pronouns. I believe every client is different and deserves their own unique therapy experience. Before we begin our work together, we will create a collaborative treatment plan, informed by your goals for therapy. My approach is gentle, with a hint of compassionate confrontation. I embrace an anti-oppressive framework, with intentional attunement to the intersections of your identity (e.g. gender, race, age, sexual orientation, etc.). Knowing how difficult therapy can be, I also try to bring humour into my sessions as much as possible.
