What I believe
Therapy tends to work best when it isn't a performance, for you or for me. I want you to be able to exhale, tell the truth, and stop monitoring how it's going to land. We might talk about sex, identity, fear, love, or what it even looks like to feel okay in your own skin. I bring curiosity and humor into the room because I don't think depth requires constant heaviness, and I don't think lightness makes anything less real.
If I had to sum it up: people deserve truth, contentment, and pleasure. I'm not here to "fix" you. I'm here to help you reconnect with the parts of you that got pushed down, shamed, silenced, or never had much space to exist to begin with.
How I work
My approach pulls from sex therapy, relational therapy, experiential and humanistic therapy, and the Gottman Method for couples (I'm trained in Levels 1 and 2). In practice, that usually means I'm paying close attention to what's happening between us in the room, not just to whatever storyline either of us thought we were supposed to follow.
I'm not interested in handing out generic advice you could get from a podcast. I care about your patterns, your history, and what's actually true for you.
I work with a wide range of people: LGBTQIA+ folks, people in non-monogamous relationships, kinky folks, and people who have never said the word "sex" out loud to another person.
Wherever you're starting from is fine. We can begin there.
About Me
Therapy can do real work without ever feeling clinical. A lot of the time, it simply needs to feel like somewhere you can show up as an actual human.
Hi, I'm Hannah, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and a Certified Sex Therapist. I'm supervised by Sonya Jensen, LMFT-S. I work with individuals and couples who want to understand themselves, their relationships, and their sexuality, not as an idea, but in the concrete, sometimes awkward, often-avoided details that make up a lived life.
I've been the person in the chair, too. I know the feeling of trying to decide if you can really say the thing out loud, and the quiet worry that your therapist is judging you behind a steady expression. I won't act like that fear is imaginary. I also know how much it can matter to move through it anyway. You don't have to arrive with perfect language. Showing up is enough.
