About Me
I’m Hannah (she/her) - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in St. Louis, Missouri. I work with adults using EMDR and supportive talk therapy to help them navigate relationships, increase self-trust, make decisions they feel good about, and process things from the past that continue to impact them in the present.
In graduate school and during my early career, I was trained as a trauma-focused therapist for children and adolescents. I have helped many individuals process sexual violence, household physical or emotional abuse, unhealthy relationship dynamics, religious trauma, and grief. If your past is heavy or complicated, know that I am okay and will be able to hold it with you.
I also care a lot about the ways that bigger systems impact your life and mental health - how culture, capitalism, white supremacy, religious systems, patriarchy, and much more can cause or exacerbate our adverse lived experiences.
I am a therapist who has been to therapy! Outside of this practice, I work at a university counseling center, teach as an adjunct in UMSL’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, and sometimes provide trainings through The Brown School’s Professional Development Program. I live in St. Louis County with my partner and our cat, and I am on a continuous journey of learning how to care for myself and live fully in a world that can be extremely painful as well as beautiful.
I’m glad you’re here - reach out to connect and see if we might work well together!
