About me

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor here in California. Over the past 7 years, I have enjoyed providing therapy to a diverse group of clients with many different mental health concerns. I take pride in being a compassionate, non-judgmental, and empathetic listener who genuinely loves supporting people and helping them unlock their full potential by working through the obstacles that may be holding them back.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us collaboratively develop a plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with mum's, adults and older adults who struggle with severe mental illness for 5 years have helped me develop skills that give me the ability to help client (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with children, adults and senior adults struggling with mental health concerns. My clients are courage to participate and commitment to explore growth in their unique way.

Hannah is a great listener and very understanding. She provides so much valuable input, even if you are not ready to hear it at the moment. She is so warm and straightforward at the same time. I highly recommend connecting with her!
