Hello! Thanks for checking out my website. I'm Hannah, a clinical social worker with nearly 25 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings including reproductive healthcare, early intervention home visiting, schools, a community mental health outpatient clinic and in private practice. My passion continues to be supporting perinatal women, children and their caregivers in the context of family wellbeing. The mind-body connection has also been a lasting interest of mine, and it has been exciting to expand my practice to include more somatic oriented work. INDIVIDUAL THERAPY In my therapy practice, I assist adult clients to work through a variety of challenges related to emotional regulation, behavior, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions and trauma. Many clients come to work with me around their difficulties in the parenting realm. My work is informed by an integrative framework including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal theory, somatic and attachment approaches. I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL SUPPORT GROUPS I also am excited to begin offering Mom Parts Salons to support maternal mental health based on the Mothercentered model. Mothercentered is an Internal Family Systems - informed approach that offers a revolutionary perspective. It reframes maternal mental health challenges and every day parenting struggles as a consequence of parts and patriarchy during matrescence (the developmental transition of becoming a mother) and the accompanying guilt and shame that mothers are burdened with. Salons will deepen your self-understanding, develop personal insight, give and receive compassion, and build your confidence, all in community with other Moms! CONSULTATION My practice also offers consultation services to benefit adults, children and families. In addition to parent consultation, I am certified to offer both the Rest and Restore Protocol and the Safe and Sound Protocol, created by Dr. Stephen Porges, the creator of Polyvagal theory. These cutting edge technologies reprogram the nervous system through the auditory pathway using therapeutic music. Additionally, I am a trained provider of neurodevelopmental movement, reflex integration and somatic practices that enhance brain integration and promote development in all areas across the lifespan. These unique methods increase interoception and embodiment, as well as improve behavioral, emotional and cognitive/learning challenges by targeting the brain and nervous system directly; something that talk therapy cannot achieve. Consultation is a short-term investment that will support existing therapies, target a specific problem or garner momentum as you prepare for longer-term therapy. Let's work together to achieve greater emotional balance, wellness and joy!
