Hi, I’m Hanna.
Folks often connect with me when they are feeling frustrated, stuck in unhelpful cycles of behaviour, and uncertain about how to cope.
Therapy helps with:
determining options and making sustainable changes
developing coping strategies that work
being more mindful so you can shift from reacting to responding
creating wholeness and healing within
I strongly believe in the healing capacity of the therapeutic relationship.
With compassion, openness, and warmth I hold space for you to be present with your emotional experiences, thoughts, memories, and beliefs.
You, as a whole and complex human, are welcome in our shared space. Together, we will navigate whatever you are going through.
I feel incredibly honoured and grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing.
