About
As a woman who once struggled to balance authenticity with the pressure to please others, I know firsthand the journey of building confidence and self-esteem. I hope to walk alongside you as you step boldly into the best version of yourself.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I work with adults facing stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem challenges, helping them find balance and resilience. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow in your personal journey.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Valdosta State University. I use a person-centered approach informed by cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed practices. I focus on helping you challenge negative patterns, build confidence, and strengthen emotional well-being.
I believe every client deserves a supportive environment where their story is heard and healing is possible. I will work with you to build lasting resilience and self-love. I am committed to walking alongside you as you move toward greater fulfillment, confidence, and emotional strength.

Hannah has a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has been a licensed therapist since 2014. She has worked in a variety of settings with several populations. Her first experience in this field was working in long-term residential treatment for individuals struggling with severe and persistent mental illness. Since that time, she has worked in an inpatient psychiatric facility, residential programs, intensive outpatient agencies, and an outpatient clinic.
Hannah found a passion for supporting individuals and families struggling with substance abuse disorders. In doing this work, she has discovered that many people struggling with addiction also struggle with trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety. The stigma of mental health in our society is often amplified by the addition of substance use, and Hannah continues to find fulfillment in supporting individuals addressing a variety of challenges. Hannah believes her role as a therapist is to facilitate people finding their voice and honoring their own inherent ability to heal. She enjoys and appreciates working with diverse populations and people of all backgrounds.
