I believe taking care of your mental health is an act of self-love.

With experience across diverse settings such as the juvenile justice system, in-patient mental health facilities, college campuses, and community outreach, Hayley is committed to meeting clients where they are and guiding them to where they want to be.

Hayley specializes in several key areas, beginning with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach she uses to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns. By focusing on developing healthier coping mechanisms, she empowers individuals to achieve lasting change, particularly in managing anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.

In her work with women’s health, Hayley is dedicated to addressing the unique challenges women face throughout their lives.

Whether addressing parent-child interactions, blended family challenges, or generational conflicts, she fosters harmony and mutual understanding, creating space for families to grow together.

For couples, Hayley focuses on rebuilding trust, nurturing emotional intimacy, and improving communication. Drawing on tools like Emotionally-Focused Therapy, she helps partners gain a deeper understanding of each other’s needs, strengthening their bond and providing a foundation for a more fulfilling relationship.

In addition, Hayley works closely with adolescents and their families, offering guidance through the complexities of teen development. With her experience in the juvenile justice system and mental health settings, she addresses issues like self-esteem, peer relationships, academic pressures, and behavioral challenges, empowering teens to navigate this pivotal stage of life.

Finally, Hayley is well-versed in supporting clients through life transitions, such as career changes, becoming a parent, or coping with loss. She helps individuals view these transitions as opportunities for growth, offering tools and insights to adapt and thrive during periods of change.

Hayley integrates her therapeutic expertise with a client-centered and collaborative approach, tailoring her techniques to meet each individual’s needs. Whether through CBT, Experiential Therapy, or Emotionally-Focused Therapy, she creates a supportive space for clients to uncover their strengths, achieve their goals, and thrive.
