Welcome to
Montana Mindset

You live in Philly? Why Montana Mindset?


I’m a 5th-generation Montanan, now transplanted to the East Coast—
which, in my opinion, could use a little Montana mindset.

Montanans are known for:

  • Working hard under a vast Big Sky

  • A deep sense of personal independence

  • And a clear-eyed embrace of reality

But when storms roll in—or when you’re climbing a mountain—
it’s good to have someone beside you who’s been there before,
and has the gear to help you make the climb.

Hi, I’m Hannah.

I’m Hannah—
a Licensed Professional Counselor and financial coach,
here to guide you through every step of your financial and personal growth journey.

My own path started steep, and not a little rough.
Right out of college, I got myself into significant consumer debt.
Panicked, I started researching and taking advice from the wealthiest people I knew.
I made hard decisions, created a plan, and stuck to it—
until I was debt-free and saving thousands instead of spending them.

I bring to my work:

  • A professional counseling background

  • Years of experience in career development

  • Clarity around the emotional patterns that impact both financial and life decisions

I now work as a college psychology and graduate counseling professor, as well as a certified financial coach.
Most days, you’ll find me in class—or meeting with people who feel stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed, and need clear-eyed, practical support to take the next right step.

Where are you feeling confused or discouraged?

Whether it's your money, your work, or your sense of direction
I'm here to walk with you and help you move forward with courage and clarity.

Send me a message, or put a consultation on my calendar.

We can do this together.
