You look like you have it all together. Ready to feel like it?
Experiential therapy & intensives for people tired of running on anxiety—and other people’s expectations.
IN PERSON IN RENO | VIRTUAL ACROSS NEVADA & TENNESSEE
You get things done. People count on you. And yet...
Your inner critic is relentless. You second-guess yourself, replay conversations, and perpetually wonder if you’re disappointing others.
Your mind runs through every "what if," and even when you finally sit down to rest, it doesn't.
You spend a lot of time thinking about what other people need, want, or think of you. You have a hard time knowing what you actually want.
You have an endless supply of compassion toward everyone, except yourself.
Life looks good on paper, but you've never quite felt allowed to live it on your own terms.
You've done the work: the books, the podcasts, the journaling, maybe years of therapy. But some patterns just won't budge.
Understanding your patterns isn't the same as changing them
Talk therapy can help you understand why you are the way you are, which is great insight. But insight lives in your head, and anxiety lives in your body. There’s a reason our attempts to think our way out of problems often fail us, and it’s not because you aren't trying hard enough.
Real change happens when you feel something differently, not just think about it differently. So in our work, you won't just talk about the conversation you've been avoiding— you'll practice it. You won't just describe the anxious part of you—you'll get to know it, and help it finally stand down.
That takes courage: saying the thing out loud, feeling the feelings, taking the step you keep talking yourself out of. Sound like too much? You don't have to do it all at once, or alone. I believe in you more than your fear does, and I'll be right there with you as you work through it.
What this looks like
Instead of just talking about what's hard, we work with it as it shows up in the room, in your body and your reactions, using EMDR, parts work (IFS), somatic awareness, expressive arts, and psychodrama. You can do this work in weekly sessions or in a focused intensive, when you're ready to make real progress in days rather than months.
Top specialties
I work with people who've done all the “right” work and still find themselves bracing for the next thing to go wrong, second-guessing every decision, and holding it together for everyone but themselves.

You're tuned in to everyone's moods and needs except your own, and saying no feels selfish. Together, we'll help you set boundaries without guilt and find your own voice again.
-
Nothing is ever quite good enough, especially you. From the outside, it looks like competence. But on the inside, it feels like drowning. Together, we'll help you put some of it down without everything falling apart.

When home was unpredictable, you learned to stay alert, keep the peace, and take care of everyone else. Those skills helped you survive, and they may be why you still can't relax or say no. Together, we'll help you stop living as if the chaos is still happening.
-
You show up, perform, and keep every commitment, but the thing you're working so hard to control is starting to control you. You don't have to hit rock bottom to deserve support, and we'll work on it without shame or rigidity.
What qualifies me to do this work?
I could tell you about my degree or my training, but what I think matters more is this: I know this on a cellular level.
Grew up risk-averse and terrified of making mistakes and letting people down? Check.
Found ways to numb the pain that eventually stopped working? Check.
Was capable and disciplined, but lost control in certain areas of my life? Check.
Wondered how other people knew how to do this "life thing" so effortlessly, as if there was some secret I wasn't in on? Check.
Today I can hold those experiences with compassion, even pride, because they no longer run my life. That's what I want for you.
I'm Hannah, a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in EMDR, psychodrama, experiential therapy, and parts work. We won't stay at the surface, because I believe you're capable of more than that. And if you're not sure you have the hope or courage for this work yet, you can borrow mine until you find your own.

I couldn't recommend Hannah enough. She led with care, grit, and humor. She kept us safe but also pushed us in ways I could not have even imagined.
