If you’ve found yourself here, chances are you’re tired of the constant noise in your head about food, your body, or whether you’re “doing enough.” Maybe you’ve spent years caught in cycles of dieting or emotional eating. Maybe motherhood has brought new pressures, anxieties, or feelings of not being good enough. Whatever has brought you here, I want you to know—you don’t have to keep doing this alone. I’m Hannah, a licensed therapist who specializes in eating disorders, disordered eating, and perinatal/postpartum mental health. My passion for this work comes not only from advanced training, but also from walking my own journey of recovery and healing. I know how isolating these struggles can feel, and I also know how much lighter life becomes when you have the right support. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space to explore the things you often keep bottled up. I’ll help you untangle the thoughts that feel overwhelming, build tools for managing anxiety and food noise, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been pushed aside. My goal isn’t to “fix” you—it’s to walk with you as you find freedom, peace, and confidence in your own life.
