You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or caught in patterns that no longer work for you, therapy can be a place to pause, breathe, and reset. I work with individuals navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and a range of other mental health concerns and I deeply respect the courage it takes to reach out.

You are highly capable and self-aware, but intelligence can’t always "think" its way out of an emotional loop. For many, analytical over-thinking is a survival strategy that causes more fatigue than clarity, fueling cycles of anxiety and depression. You don't need me to tell them what to think; I am here to help move beyond knowing what to do to actual change. We will bridge the gap between insight and integration to help you feel as good as you "know" you should. Let’s turn your self-awareness into a tool for transformation rather than exhaustion. Ready to get unstuck? Reach out today for a free consultation

Hey there, I’m Hannah! I’m really glad you’re here. If therapy feels intimidating, you’re not alone in that and I’m here to bridge that gap. I see our work as walking alongside each other with awareness that my role isn’t to “fix” you, but to walk with you while you discover your own clarity and strength. My approach is grounded in empathy, affirmation, and deep respect for your lived experience. You are the expert on you. I care deeply about creating a space that allows you to untangle, explore, and grow without feeling the need to perform.

Running on empty? When life, work, or past trauma leaves your nervous system in constant survival mode, standard coping skills fail. Often, chronic overwhelm leads to addiction, substance use, or dependency to cope. I provide deep clinical psychotherapy to get to the root of chronic stress, anxiety, trauma, and addictive behaviors. We won’t just talk about the weight you carry. Together, we build an evidence-based resilience map to break destructive cycles, reclaim your energy, and restore your capacity to thrive.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, relationship stress, anxiety, or depression, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Many of the clients I work with appear high-functioning on the outside but feel stuck, emotionally drained, or unsure of who they are or where they’re headed. I work with adults navigating relationship challenges, mood disorders, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. I also frequently work with college students and young professionals navigating identity, independence, and changing relationships.

Accepting new private pay clients and couples (I do not work with insurances). You’ve done the things and there’s more you want from life. The “usual” hasn’t helped and you’re wanting a shift, a change. My clients often report learning useful tools or new perspectives while other clients say that their issues suddenly improved with our talking and they can’t articulate just how. It is an honor to collaborate with bright individuals and create a more meaningful existence. You are ready and that’s what brings you here. It's time to get creative and experience something different. That's where I come in. Glad you are here.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
