Hello Beautiful Soul!

Welcome to my site. My name is Hanson. I am a psychotherapist, meditator, empath, and spiritual guide. I am honored for our paths to cross.

I’m Hanson, and I am a licensed mental health counselor and therapist, educated and trained at Columbia University in New York City. 

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, social-justice informed, insight oriented, collaborative, and guided by foundational principles in Eastern Buddhist philosophy and spirituality.

I specialize in the following areas of healing:

  • Exploring one’s identity and understanding how marginalized and/or privileged aspects of one’s identity informs one’s lived experience and self-concept.

  • Helping clients of marginalized identities feel EMPOWERED with self-love and acceptance in who they are authentically.

  • Exploration of childhood trauma and using a deeply supportive and nurturing therapeutic bond to create emotionally reparative experiences.

  • Providing evidence-supported and catered insight into how one’s trauma leads to the psychological development of maladaptive beliefs, behaviors, and triggers.

  • Using mindfulness practices such as meditation and wisdom from Eastern Buddhist philosophy and spirituality to guide one’s awareness towards greater self-love, compassion, and enlightenment.
