To Hannah, the therapist-client relationship is a sacred connection that allows the client to settle further into their own authenticity, empowerment, fulfillment, and joy. Using a flexible, warm, attuned and at times playful approach, she helps clients understand themselves better, identify what’s truly important to them, and own their decisions.

Hannah practices using a psychodynamic relational approach. Her therapeutic practice is informed by somatics and relational neurobiology. She is passionate about fostering lived corrective experiences for clients that can be internalized in the body. Her experience as a multiracial person informs the way she works with clients who straddle intersectional identities.

She specializes in chronic illness/pain, grief and loss, relationship issues, couples therapy, sexual trauma, multiracial identity concerns, and women’s issues and operates from a liberatory framework that takes into account the systemic stressors that impact her clients. Hannah is trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a modality designed to help clients manage and reduce or eliminate their chronic pain symptoms by working with the body’s fear-pain signaling pathways.

Hannah obtained her Master’s degree from Smith College School for Social Work. She has worked in community mental health settings providing individual and expressive arts group therapy to youth and young adults. She has over 6 years of clinical experience supporting survivors of sexual violence. She is also passionate about promoting body literacy and empowerment through teaching the Fertility Awareness Method. Prior to working as a therapist, Hannah worked in the education publishing sector and taught yoga. She serves individuals, couples, and youth.

Hannah is an Associate Social Worker (#ASW119327) registered through the Board of Behavioral Sciences. At Silver Lake Psychotherapy, she is supervised by Alice Smith, LMFT (LMFT118591).
