Lover of coffee, bad jokes, and reality cooking competitions
Hi, I'm Hannah
I’m a Michigan native who has lived in Traverse City for nine years. I initially pursued counseling because I had a knack for connecting with people in a one-on-one setting. Large groups were never my thing. I received my master's in counseling education from Western Michigan University. I have been working in counseling for seven years, first as a school counselor and later pursuing my dream of starting my private practice.
As I transitioned from school counseling to private practice, I realized that my passion for counseling is rooted in the relationships I build with clients and witnessing their growth over time.
I now work one-on-one with individuals and love every moment. It’s a gift to be trusted by my clients and to be let into their worlds.
My style is kind and compassionate but very real and authentic. Being human, in its truest form, is flawed, messy, and beautiful.
I help clients confront and process the “messy”, while freeing up space internally, to grow into the people they want to be. I hold space for you as you experience life’s peaks and valleys.

A Little Bit More About Me...
Honesty
Trust
Curiosity
Therapy only works when we can both be honest with each other. This is a no judgement zone.
Building trust is an important part of the therapeutic relationship. This can take time, as in any relationship.
Humor
I laugh with my clients and I cry with my clients. A healthy sense of humor is always welcome in sessions.
Curiosity about ourselves, our relationships, dreams and the world, makes therapy rewarding.
