You Don't Need More Insight - You Need Your Nervous System to Feel Safe Again.
You're smart. Capable. Insightful. And still, your body reacts as if the past is happening right now. If you've tried talk therapy, coping skills, or "pushing through" - and you're exhausted by how little has actually changed - you're not broken. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do to survive. That's where EMDR comes in. I specialize in EMDR therapy for individuals who are high-functionally on the outside and overwhelmed on the inside.

I want clients to know you are seen, heard, and those feelings that you experience are accepted and safe here.

Hi there! I’m Hannah, and I’m here for the moments when you’ve told yourself, “I am good enough”, but that nagging sense of shame just won’t let go. Oftentimes I meet people who have tried traditional talk therapy, tried to reframe their thought patterns into something more helpful, or to learn various ways that they can deal with their emotional experiences, but continue to struggle with feeling broken despite their growing intellectual understanding of themselves. This is when I can provide something different!

Have you ever wished life was different? Often, people go through life pretending things are “ok.” In reality, everyone experiences problems. Often, we are afraid to share them with others. We're afraid of their response. You don't have to do it alone anymore. No matter the problem you are facing... depression, anxiety, trauma, loneliness... I believe together we can take steps to create a better life for you. I believe big changes are made by taking small, consistent steps. I believe a strong, collaborative, therapeutic relationship helps those I work with to explore what is holding them back, while we work toward change.

Life can feel messy—sometimes marked by stagnation, chaos, or confusion. I challenge individuals to reconnect with their authentic selves, rediscover their passions, and grow beyond the protective mask life often encourages us to wear out of fear or pain. I believe it's in embracing authenticity that we find freedom and joy—the kind that moves us from isolation or bondage into fullness and purpose.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
