Hi, I’m Hannah.

​

I am a graduate counseling intern from Walden University who believes therapy works best when people feel comfortable showing up as themselves. Authenticity and staying connected to your personal values are core principles I bring into counseling. I strive to create a space where clients feel understood and respected, and where they can speak honestly about what is happening in their lives without fear of judgment.

​

I especially enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I believe young people are often misunderstood or underestimated in today’s culture, despite having meaningful perspectives and strengths that deserve to be recognized. I value listening to my younger clients and taking what they have to say seriously. Their experiences matter, and I believe they deserve to have a voice in their own counseling experience.

​

As an openly LGBTQ+ supportive counselor and member of the LGBTQ+ community, creating an affirming space is especially important to me. I believe everyone deserves to feel accepted for who they are and supported in living according to their own values. Authenticity is something I value both personally and professionally, and I want clients to feel that they do not have to hide parts of themselves in therapy.

​

My approach to counseling is collaborative and flexible. I often incorporate solution-focused therapy while also drawing from other approaches depending on what feels most appropriate for the individual client. I believe therapy should be tailored to the person rather than expecting every client to fit into the same model.​
