Online Counselling for Kitchener
I accommodate online, at home or in-nature sessions.
I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD. Trauma comes in many forms: a single event, childhood, medical or just "something" that affects an individual internally. Trauma therapy involves facilitating psychological healing, self-growth and understanding. We will work to identify core beliefs that immerged due to life experiences, then begin to process and manage them with a sense of support, confidence and strength.

Hi, my name is Hannah. I use she/her and they/them pronouns. I believe every client is different and deserves their own unique therapy experience. Before we begin our work together, we will create a collaborative treatment plan, informed by your goals for therapy. My approach is gentle, with a hint of compassionate confrontation. I embrace an anti-oppressive framework, with intentional attunement to the intersections of your identity (e.g. gender, race, age, sexual orientation, etc.). Knowing how difficult therapy can be, I also try to bring humour into my sessions as much as possible.

I work with individuals and couples, providing a supportive space for both personal growth and relational healing. Together, we will delve into your attachment patterns and examine the different aspects of yourself that might be contributing to your worries, anxiety, mood, or communication roadblocks. Often, the major challenges in life or the emotional roller coasters we experience, stem from our daily thoughts and behaviors that we aren’t effectively managing. By untangling the roots of your thought patterns, I will help you plant cognitive seeds that are more self-empowering.

Being anxious, sad, overwhelmed or having no hope can have a negative impact on your physical and mental health. Seeking help might not be easy; and opening up and revealing yourself in therapy can be intimidating. This is why most people who suffer mentally and emotionally, do not seek help, often being forced to cope in unhealthy ways to seek temporary relief. But you are here because you are seeking help, congratulations for taking your first step towards healing!

Are you feeling stuck in an older version of yourself that you know is ready to change? Do you live with the feeling that there's a truer version of "you" that's dying to come out? Are you held back by complicated relationships from your past, that seem to keep you in a holding pattern? Are you a couple stuck in a pattern that keeps you apart? Often we hit a place where we know we are ready for a transition, but we're just not sure what to do next. That's when therapy can be the most powerful. It's my greatest privilege to experience real connection with folks who are journeying towards a more meaningful, fulfilled, authentic life.

You’re feeling overwhelmed, whether from the pressures of daily life, the demands of relationships, or the weight of expectations you can never quite meet. Constantly second-guessing your choices and prioritizing others' needs may have left you feeling disconnected from yourself. Maybe you're a mother navigating society’s impossible standards, a young adult juggling school and life, or someone facing a major life transition. If anxiety, depression, stress, or a sense of feeling lost are taking a toll, you're not alone.

I work with individuals who are looking for something (and someone) unique and different. Someone who doesn't fit into the traditional therapeutic box and someone who needs someone to support them who are just as untraditional. As a Spiritual Purpose and Mindset Coach, I will help you to examine what is getting in the way of achieving your goal while shifting your mindset and finding deeper meaning and purpose for all life experiences. We'll look at what is blocking you, how you developed that thought or belief while working to release that story and that energy that is holding you back from achieving your goal.
