Hanna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founded her practice, Inner Balance LLC, in 2008. Her approach is grounded in a deep belief in the power of Self-Growth, and our capacity to resiliently navigate life's challenges, changes, and uncertainties. She is passionate about helping clients overcome limiting patterns, build 'non-f--k-with-able' self-esteem, reclaim authentic relationships with themselves and others, and become the versions of themselves capable of creating fulfilling relationships, achieving successful creative pursuits, and actively taking charge of their lives and career paths.

​

Hanna specializes in helping creative and purpose-driven empaths untangle themselves from patterns that keep them from thriving. These patterns may include Excelling in certain areas of life, while over-functioning or under-functioning in other areas, feeling stuck, and sometimes unintentionally relying on co-dependent coping strategies in relationships. Whether single, coupled, or raising little ones, many of Hanna's clients struggle with self-affirming life goals and may experience perfectionism and low self-esteem despite high achievements and creative abilities. They may also have a history of  overlooking red flags in romantic relationships, leading to disappointing entanglements with emotionally unavailable, unstable, or gas-lighting-prone partners. A history of family environments characterized by emotional immaturity, confusing roles, unhealthy boundaries, complex and/or generational trauma, toxic shame, addiction, and various forms of emotionally difficult experiences also often accompany these challenges.

 

If one or more of the above patterns feel familiar to you, and you feel ready to transform relationship patterns that keep you from thriving, you've likely come to the right place.

​

In her practice, Hanna integrates diverse approaches, drawing from Growth Mindset research, Positive Psychology, Trauma-informed Psychotherapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, Neuroscience, mindful awareness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Integral Theory, somatic modalities, EMDR, Family Systems Theory, Transpersonal Psychology, Depth Psychology, and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RODBT), among others...
