CMHC-I

Hello, I’m Hannah!

I am so happy you are here! Taking the step to reach out for help isn’t always easy, but every day I am able to see just how rewarding and life-changing that brave step can be. I firmly believe that we are moldable and able to change as humans who want to do and feel better. Help and healing is not beyond you and where you are at, no matter how deep into suffering you might feel right now.

I am currently a Clinical Mental Health Counselor- Intern, graduating in a few short months with my Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality from Brigham Young University- Hawaii with a minor in Psychology. After being in the hospitality industry for three years, I could no longer push aside the call towards being a helper on a deeper level. I have loved my work in this field, particularly with children, teens, and women.

My natural inclination is to be warm, compassionate, patient, and approachable. I believe that healing is possible with devoted effort, and I aim to have my hope for you shine bright and spread contagiously in our sessions. I approach various roadblocks through a blended lens of existential-humanistic theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment Theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and of course, Play Therapy! Additional specialties of mine include coping with life-altering chronic illness diagnoses and disabilities, and from my years working and studying in Hawaii, I maintain a high level of cultural intelligence and awareness.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy pool and lake days, park visits with my husband and two Australian Shepherds, trying new restaurants, making fresh pressed juices, finding second-hand gems, book reading, reality TV, curating a nice Spotify playlist, and quality family time.
