Hi friend, I’m Hannah.

I’m a holistic psychotherapist offering trauma-informed therapy and EMDR for adults across Texas who are ready to stop feeling stuck and constantly in survival mode.

 

If you’ve found your way here, you’ve probably already spent a lot of time trying to understand yourself. Maybe you’ve read the trendy self-help books, been to therapy, learned about attachment styles, and gotten pretty good at recognizing your patterns.  Yet...nothing has changed. Still overthinking. Still shutting down. Still getting pulled into the same relationship dynamics. Still knowing what you should do and having a really hard time actually doing it.

 

You’re not broken. Your body is just carrying stories your mind can’t think its way out of.

 

Sometimes understanding why you do something isn’t enough to change what happens when you’re actually in it. You can know that you’re safe and still feel your body brace for danger. You can know a relationship isn’t right for you and still feel terrified to let it go. You can know you need a boundary and still feel like setting one might cost you connection. Your patterns make sense. They were shaped somewhere, for a reason. Even the things you wish you could stop doing may have once helped you stay safe, stay connected, belong, or get through something you didn’t have the resources to handle any other way.

That’s the kind of work I love doing.

I help painfully self-aware humans understand the deeper roots of anxiety, trauma, and relationship patterns....and begin to experience more choice in how they move through the world.

 

We’ll talk about your life, but we'll also practice getting out of your head to notice what happens in your body, what gets activated in certain situations, and what you tend to do when things get hard. EMDR, parts work, and somatic practices give us ways to actually work with those things instead of just talking about them.

 

The goal isn’t to turn you into a perfectly regulated, endlessly self-aware person. Honestly, that sounds exhausting. I’m more interested in helping you understand yourself with a little more compassion. To recognize what you need and desire. To have more room to choose how you respond. To stay connected to yourself when things get hard. To build relationships where you don’t have to abandon yourself to stay connected.

I offer a compassionate, culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity-affirming, sex-positive space where you don’t have to make yourself easier to understand before you’re allowed to belong.

If you’re tired of endlessly trying to figure yourself out and ready to experience something different, I’d love to work with you.

My Therapeutic Approach

Evidence-based tools we can use to explore, process, and release what’s holding you back

Relational Therapy

At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationships. I believe therapy should be a space where we can be real, messy, awkward, and explore the parts of ourselves we usually hide. Together, we’ll practice vulnerability, setting boundaries, navigating difficult emotions, and noticing your patterns— so you leave not just feeling understood, but better equipped to show up authentically in the world and in your relationships. 

Parts Work

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you get to know the different parts of yourself— especially the younger ones that still carry old wounds, unmet needs, or protective roles. Instead of judging or pushing them away, we meet each part with curiosity and compassion. Whether it’s the inner critic, the overachiever, or the tender child inside you, each part has something valuable to teach. By listening and responding with care, you can create a sense of internal harmony, feel more at peace, and connect more fully with yourself.

Somatic Work

Somatic therapy is about getting out of your head and back into your body—where much of the hard stuff actually lives. Trauma, stress, and emotional pain often show up as tension, tightness, or that nagging sense of disconnection you can’t quite shake. Together, we’ll tune into those sensations, through breath, movement, or simply noticing what’s happening in your body, and gently release what’s been holding you back. 

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps you process experiences and memories that continue to hold you back— especially the ones that feel overwhelming, confusing, or stuck in your body. Instead of avoiding or pushing them away, we gently guide the brain to reprocess these memories so they lose their charge. Whether it’s past trauma, anxiety, or persistent negative beliefs, EMDR helps you make sense of the experience, release what no longer serves you, and step into a greater sense of safety, clarity, and self-compassion.

Individual Therapy

Together, we’ll explore the patterns, parts, and stories that shape your inner world—tending to trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship struggles with compassion and curiosity. Rooted in somatic and relational approaches, this work invites deep healing through mind-body connection and fierce authenticity.

Community Groups

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. These intentional group spaces offer connection, support, and shared growth with others navigating similar journeys. Through story-sharing, somatic practices, and creative exploration, you’ll find resonance, reflection, and the reminder that you are not alone.
