As a trained EMDR and Brainspotting therapist, Hannah is passionate about her work with children, teens, new mothers and parents, and clients with complex, multilayered traumatic histories. For over a decade, she has provided expert care with an attachment lens for clients of all ages in a compassionate environment conducive to healing and growth. Hannah works with the whole family around medical issues, trauma, grief and loss, adoption, and blended families.
Child Therapy: Integrating Play Therapy with Pediatric EMDR
Realizing her natural ability to connect with children and their parents, Hannah invested in the supervision and training necessary to become a Registered Play Therapist in 2017 and obtained additional training in Pediatric EMDR and Brainspotting. Her child clients know that “Hannah helps me with feelings, problems, and worries so that I can feel better.“ Through her demeanor and play, Hannah offers children a safe, caring, and creative environment that allows them to process challenges, heal from trauma, and thrive. She provides attachment work with children under 2 years of age with a parent or caregiver present. At ages 3 and above, a child may be seen individually or with a caregiver based on their presenting issues and therapeutic goals.
Navigating Adolescence: Expertise in Pre-Teen and Teen Counseling
Hannah has experience and enjoys working with pre-teens and teens on issues including, but not limited to, adjustments, self-worth, body image and healthy relationships. She often works with parents on what to expect and how to navigate the teen years, with the tension of providing both independence and boundaries.
Journeying Through Adulthood: Individual Therapy for Perinatal Mental Health, Trauma, Grief, and Life Transitions
Adults will find Hannah provides a non-judgmental, secure environment that will allow them to heal from all types of trauma. She specializes in perinatal mental health and working with new parents. Incorporating EMDR and Brainspotting into therapy, Hannah is passionate about supporting clients who have suffered birth and pregnancy/infant loss. Additional areas of focus include therapy for clients navigating blended families, adoption, grief and loss, childhood trauma, and life transitions.
Hear from Hannah
I meet people where they are and empower them to meet their goals. Someone recently asked me why I believe therapy works and I replied, “Because I have seen it!” I have seen therapy work over and over again to heal trauma, strengthen families and increase healthy functioning.
Working with children and teens has been rewarding because of how powerful treatment can be. Due to their age, children and teens have less neural networks than adults, making their trauma faster to process and coping skills quicker to integrate. By receiving therapy at a young age, we are giving kids and teens a healthy foundation, rather than saving their battles for when life gets more complicated.
That being said, it is never too late for growth and change. I have had the honor and experience of accompanying many adults through healing and changes. Using mind-body modalities such as EMDR and Brainspotting, I have been able to offer clients hope when they feel like nothing has worked in the past. These are also helpful for people who are exhausted from using coping skills, or report incongruencies between what they know and how they feel. I am passionate about providing therapeutic services that have a meaningful and lasting impact.
