Hannah's approach to grief focuses on creating a space where you are met with deep care, compassion, and understanding as you express the full depth and complexity of your loss. Although death and change are a natural part of life, most of us are never truly taught how to navigate the transformative - and sometimes traumatizing - experience of losing someone significant. Instead, we encounter messages about “moving on” or “getting over it,” often long before we feel ready. This pressure can create profound isolation, frustration, and a sense of being unmoored from the world around us.
Grief is not a problem to be solved; it is a story to be witnessed.
In Hannah's grief work, she focuses on normalization, ritual building, narrative and storytelling practices, somatic processing, validation, meaning-making, and strengthening your capacity to live alongside your loss. While your person may no longer be physically present, the bond you share does not disappear. Together, you can explore that ongoing connection and create individualized rituals that support both your healing and the continuing relationship you hold with your loved one.
Grief can touch every layer of our lives - our identities, bodies, relationships, and sense of belonging. Hannah's role is to walk with you through this terrain: to offer grounding when everything feels unsteady, to help you name what hurts, and to support you in reclaiming a sense of agency and connection in your life moving forward. Whether your grief is fresh or decades old, complicated or quiet, welcome or unexpected, you do not have to carry it alone.
If you feel ready, Hannah would be honoured to walk with you through this part of your story and support you in finding meaning, steadiness, and possibility in the midst of profound change.
Sometimes a person knows something feels off, but finding the words to explain it can feel impossible. Emotions become heavy, patterns feel hard to break, and even simple decisions can start to feel overwhelming. Many people begin to lose touch with their inner voice, their confidence, and the relationships that matter most.
You might not know what you need, but you know you need something. Anything.
Hannah offers therapeutic support that helps clients reconnect with their feelings and strengthen their sense of self. As a Montréal and Montérégie social worker, she creates a warm, grounded space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they explore the roots of their emotional challenges. Through reflective conversation and a deeply relational approach, Hannah helps clients slow down, make meaning of their experiences, and move toward choices that reflect their values and authentic identity. She is not afraid of the dark twisty parts that dance in each of us, and welcomes whatever you bring to her with curiosity and non-judgement.
In her work, Hannah supports clients in developing connection-focused boundaries, navigating conflict, improving communication, and building self-trust. She often works with individuals who experience anxiety, self-doubt, impulsivity, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or a lingering sense of being disconnected from themselves. Her practice integrates mind-body awareness, grounding strategies, and mindfulness-based techniques to foster emotional clarity and resilience.
Whether someone is looking to improve their relationships, deepen their self-understanding, or create meaningful change in their daily life, Hannah offers compassionate therapeutic guidance rooted in collaboration and respect. Her goal is to help clients rediscover their inner steadiness and move through the world with a stronger sense of connection, confidence, and care. She is well-versed in concepts of intergenerational trauma and confusion patterns.
For the caregivers and the " burnouts ":
The world turns because of people who give care, provide help, and support those around them.
Caregivers, frontline workers, adult children supporting aging parents, and those who have always “held it together” for others often do so without recognition or support. Over time, the emotional weight behind that brave face can become too heavy, leaving you overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to cope with everything you are carrying.
Hannah understands the complex realities of caregiving. She supports people who suddenly find themselves navigating role reversals with parents, caring for loved ones with dementia or chronic illness, or managing responsibilities that feel impossible to balance. These experiences are often endured in silence, and many caregivers do not seek help until they have reached a breaking point.
Hannah’s coaching & therapeutic approach creates a space where the caregivers themselves can receive care. Her work includes skill-building, psychoeducation, emotional support, and compassionate guidance to help you understand your own needs and regain a sense of stability. She focuses on reducing shame, challenging stigma, and offering a non-judgmental environment where helpers can talk openly about their struggles and explore sustainable ways to move forward.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply unsure how to keep going, Hannah provides supportive, client-centered therapy to help you anchor yourself, strengthen your emotional resilience, and reconnect with your sense of self.
Hannah provides comprehensive psychosocial assessments for adults in Monteregie and the Greater Montreal region. These assessments are needed in situations where a protection mandate may be required under Québec law for applicationns of tutorships or homologations of protection mandates. These assessments help determine a person’s ability to make informed decisions about their personal care, property, and overall well-being. As a licensed social worker trained through the Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et des thérapeutes conjugaux et familiaux du Québec (OTSTCFQ), Hannah offers evaluations that meet the province’s legal and professional standards.
In every assessment, Hannah considers the individual’s medical history, cognitive and emotional functioning, social supports, living environment, and overall capacity to manage daily life. She approaches this process with sensitivity and respect, ensuring that the person’s dignity, autonomy, and cultural context are always centered. When needed, she collaborates with caregivers, family members, medical professionals, and legal representatives to ensure a thorough and balanced understanding of the person’s situation.
Hannah’s assessments result in a clear, detailed clinical report that outlines recommendations regarding protective supervision, decision-making capacity, and the level of support that may be required. Her work aims to safeguard vulnerable adults while honoring their rights and individuality.
If you need a psychosocial assessment for a protection mandate, Hannah works in collaboration with Serenite Services. Together, they can guide you through each step and offer a process that is grounded in professionalism, expertise, empathy, and care.
Hannah has spent the majority of her career working with Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island. As an intern, she supported First Nations, Métis, and Indigenous women experiencing houselessness and poverty in Tiohtià:ke. She now works full-time for Kahnawà:ke Shakotiia’takehnhas Community Services as an Elders Caseworker, providing psychosocial assessments, mental health support, and case management services for Elders and their families in the community.
Hannah’s training and experience have shaped her into a practitioner who is deeply attuned to the cultural, historical, and relational contexts that shape each person’s healing journey. She recognizes the tensions that can arise when clinicians and clients work within colonial systems while trying to heal colonial harms, including the profound impacts of residential schools, systemic inequities, and intergenerational trauma.
Hannah’s practice is grounded in Two-Eyed Seeing, which guides her to integrate western therapeutic approaches with the values, desires, and worldviews of her clients. She honors wholistic and land-based practices, spiritual traditions, and community-connected forms of healing whenever clients wish to include them. And most importantly, she understands what it means when you say you come from a family of iron workers. Relationship-building is at the heart of her work, and she allows time and space for trust, safety, and comfort to develop so that each concern can be approached in a way that is collaborative, culturally aligned, and restorative.
To Hannah, Indigenous clients are not case files, check boxes on her resume or career stepping stones. They are sacred beings whose stories and healing deserve to be witnessed, respected, and supported on their terms with care, consideration, and special attention.
Hannah is proud to offer free mental health and therapeutic services for Indigenous clients through the NIHB program, available to those with a valid band number. Her therapeutic services are accessible to clients across Quebec, Montréal, the South Shore, and the Montérégie region through virtual or in-person support.

Hannah offers trauma-informed therapeutic support to couples, partnerships, and meaningful relationships, including non-monogamous, polyamorous, queer, and other non-conventional relationship structures. She supports partners in navigating ruptures such as betrayal, broken agreements, and misattunement with care and honesty, while helping them find pathways toward repair, accountability, and renewed connection.
Her training and lived experience allow her to work in ways that are affirming, informed, and attuned to relationships that exist outside dominant norms. Hannah meets people within the dynamic with curiosity, positive regard, and the intention to co-create a secure space where all parties can show up as their most honest and vulnerable selves. Rather than assuming a single “right” way to relate or navigate conflict, she supports partners in understanding their unique dynamics, values, needs, and agreements with care and respect.
Hannah’s work is informed by Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach that understands relationship distress as a response to unmet attachment needs and emotional disconnection. EFT focuses on helping partners recognize the cycles they become stuck in and creating moments of emotional engagement that foster safety, responsiveness, and trust. When rupture occurs through conflict, misattunement, or trust injuries, Hannah supports partners in finding their way back to one another through repair rather than blame.
Hannah understands that all relationships require thoughtful attention to attachment, consent, and emotional safety. Her approach supports partners in exploring how connection, jealousy, rupture, and reassurance show up across multiple relationships, without pathologizing the structure itself. Rather than relying on communication “skills” that often disappear during high-emotion moments, this work centres emotional presence, nervous system awareness, and real-time engagement. The goal is not perfect communication, but helping partners feel seen, safe, and connected again when things feel fractured.
