Specialties

Hannah is a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) practicing psychotherapy and counseling in Bethlehem.

Though Hannah is competent in providing treatment to adults of all ages, she has specialized training and an interest in counseling young adults and college students struggling with the following issues:

Finding an identity as an independent adult within a world of possibilities

Defining values and «what our lives will be about»

Navigating relationships, intimacy, boundaries, and «feeling alone»

Anxiety and confusion about life’s expectations

Hannah is skilled in treating adult individuals and couples of any sexual orientation and gender. She works primarily with anxiety, depression, poor self-​image and self-​compassion. She enjoys working with insightful clients that seek an understanding of life’s transitional issues, such as loss, change, and relationship stress. She does not see children under the age of 18.

History

Established in 2011.

The vision and mission for my practice seeks to assist individuals with personal goals and self-​growth through psychotherapeutic intervention. The need for therapy comes when we suffer and need relief. We suffer through worrying, sadness, and rejecting ourselves or changes in our lives. The troublesome feelings we experience often tell us where healing is needed and growth must occur. Growth calls us to therapy.

Therapy can be a unique experience for each person. Sometimes, we engage in an undefined, yet active process, to embark on untapped facets of ourselves that have dictated our current suffering. Other times, therapy is a more direct and targeted process, tackling the here-​and-​now of a problem.

When you and I meet, I can offer you a safe environment that will lead you to discovering your own solutions. We will have a conversation about your past and your future. Then, both you and I will work together in the present to navigate our time together in the way that you need.
