The Nova Collective
A supportive community for parents who want to stay people while raising people.
Through weekly check-ins, educational classes, and shared community spaces, the Nova Collective offers connection, support, and practical tools to help parents feel less alone and more grounded through every season of life.
-
Our weekly virtual check-in calls offer a consistent, supportive space to pause, reflect, and feel less alone. These guided conversations create room to share what’s coming up, listen to others, and stay grounded through every season of life and parenthood.
-
Nova’s classes and workshops offer deeper dives into mental health, relationships, identity, and personal growth. These experiences are more structured and educational, designed to help you build insight, tools, and confidence as a parent and as an individual.
-
Community at Nova is about ongoing connection — not just showing up to an event, but feeling held in between. Through shared spaces (virtual and in-person, depending on location), members can connect, listen, share, and build relationships that make life feel more supported and less isolating.

Thrive with Nova will change your life. I felt listened too, understood and safe. After one session I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Hannah is worth the investment to feel pretty much reborn.
Hannah is amazing, I recommend her to everyone. Her specialties and experience make her a wonderful therapist, especially for people who feel like other therapy hasn’t been productive or helpful. She’s great for individuals as well as couples, and has been so helpful for me. You can tell she really cares about her job and the people she works with. 10/10 would recommend!!
I feel more equipped now to parent (my daughter) from a new skill set, instead of parenting with the old tool kit. I also know there will be bumps in the road. Thank you for your help.
Thank you so much for helping me get through the past few months...you have been such a huge support to me and an amazing therapist... You got me through some of the hardest days...thank you for your patience and kindness...thank you for having my back.
Just still so thankful for you and your work with [my child]. He is doing really good and is coming into his best self. I so appreciate your heart and investment in my family.
I've interacted with Hannah in a few different capacities and heard personal reviews from other clients. She is a gem; definitely in a creative/growth headspace, and she inspires others to also find creative solutions and see life from a perspective of capability to make positive changes. Hannah listens phenomenally, and respects you as an intelligent person and as the expert on your life. She's good about communicating gameplans and expectations going forward, and making sure everybody's on the same page. Highly recommend.
