Hello, I'm Hannah
As a Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and play therapist in training, I value creative expression. I believe that all people deserve spaces and relationships within which they can freely express themselves. I specialize in helping children navigate emotional and developmental challenges, unlocking their capacity to build confidence, resilience, and coping skills that will serve them throughout their lives. Outside of the office, I am a lifelong artist and currently enjoy working with collage, watercolor, and mixed media. When I'm not making art, you can find me exploring nature, trying new recipes, or listening to podcasts with my cat.
My Approach
I worked as a special education teacher before pursuing my Master’s in Art Therapy Counseling. My clinical experience has included work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups experiencing neurodevelopmental issues, family transitions, medical complications, identity issues, grief, and more. I have provided counseling in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals and other medical facilities, client homes, and a crisis shelter. ​​
Through a compassionate, child-centered practice, I create a safe and supportive environment where children can express themselves freely. I use a combination of art therapy and play therapy techniques because they allow children to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in their natural language. By following a child’s lead and allowing them to explore at their own pace, I help them uncover their natural strengths and abilities, empowering them to approach life's challenges with confidence.
I also work closely with families to guide them in supporting their child’s unique needs. My goal is to empower children and their families so they feel more equipped to navigate the ups and downs of life with greater ease.​
