Imagine what it would be like to find that sense of hope again and create the connection that you have been searching for with yourself and with partner(s). My focus of practice is sexuality.

Everyone has the power within themselves for positive change, sometimes we just need a little guidance and new tools to get there.

Children face their own dilemmas. Which can make them feel overwhelmed, frustrated, impulsive, or anxious and act out. I use a child's natural language of play to explore these feelings with them and their families.

I am here to help your child and family learn to heal from traumatic events and everyday stressors. I have completed education and training to be a credentialed Registered Play Therapist. I received my MA in Community Counseling from Siena Heights, in 2010.

I believe that no matter your current station in life that each person can improve on wherever they are at. As a therapist I like to meet people where they are at and help them to build tangible goals and subsequent structures to succeed in whatever they hope to achieve.

I work with clients by first understanding their needs and pull from a variety of interventions and methods in order to best serve my clients. I work collaboratively with clients and aim to go at a pace which is comfortable, yet conducive to progress.

My focus as a Toledo mental health therapist is helping people face challenges head-on. I work with families who have a loved one experiencing dementia, professionals confronted with difficult career or ethical decisions, and clients struggling with PTSD. Other areas of interest include working with artists (musicians, visual artists, writers), helping family members repair damaged relationships, and guiding young adults struggling to find their way. What makes therapy successful is the relationship between the counselor and the client. When that is clicking, change happens and growth starts.

Client's describe me as welcoming, encouraging and open minded. I pride myself on being comforting and non judgmental for my clients to support them through their healing journey.

“Therapy is too good to be limited to the sick” – Erving Polster. Every individual has a story that needs to be told or listened to. My mindful approach, is to help others write their stories.

I have years of experience working with youth, adolescents and their families dealing with a range of issues from juvenile delinquency, substance abuse and trauma. I have developed professionalism and discipline form my time in the U.S. Army, and have extensive experience in education and coaching. I have spent years helping youth academically, athletically and socially. I have worked with the offender populations and have demonstrated a safe and caring space for this marginalized group. In addition, I have worked with victims of abuse, and have created a safe, caring empathetic place for them to process their concerns. My experience has allowed me to develop the unique ability to bridge the gap between, offender/victim, teacher/student, caregiver/child, felon/community and individual/system. If you are in need of culturally competent, evidenced based treatment, with a focus on solutions, and a balanced approach of love and logic, faith and fact then look no further.

A quote I often think about states: “I'm keeping an eye on the future, an eye on the past, and the present in my pocket.” The message from this is the focus of my practice - to help you process past trauma, to empower and encourage you to work toward fulfilling goals, and to teach you to be more mindful for increased life satisfaction. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety or depression, dysfunctional relationships, the lasting impact from trauma, issues with balancing the stressors of work/family/friends/self, and the challenges of current events and society, then we may be a good fit!

Hi! I'm Hannah (she/her). As a therapist, I like to think of our work together as a team. No issue or struggle is too small. I want you to be able to recognize and validate your experiences and feelings. We process, reflect, and brainstorm together to find the best possible outcome for you. My goal is to empower and encourage you to work toward your goals and trust yourself. I help you look at all the events in your life that add up to the unique person you have become. Every client is different, and we will identify your personal needs, wants, goals, and struggles, as well as how to start to overcome them.

Thich Nhat Hanh said, "The present moment contains past and future. The secret to transformation is in the way we handle this very moment." I believe the best, most immediate, steps on the path to health and wellness for the mind, body, and spirit begin with the present journey inward. By better understanding and honoring ourselves, we can live more genuine, self-actualized lives. In finding compassion for ourselves, we can manifest greater compassion for others through the choices we make and how we communicate. Our greatest ally in having a rich and fulfilling life is found within. This is the essence of my clinical work with you.
