My name is Hallie and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults with various emotional needs. I specialize in treating trauma and have experience working with all ages on processing and healing after trauma, however I also see adults and children for anxiety, depression, or difficulty in relationships.

I have several years of experience in the mental health field with emphasis on trauma and PTSD, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, anger, interpersonal/relational conflict and life transitions. I am passionate about how mental health and trauma are interwoven in our society and systems, as well as advocating for equity and diversity across these systems. Before becoming a therapist, most of my work in the mental health field involved working in crisis intervention and with survivors of trauma.

Seeking therapy for the first time or finding someone new can be scary. I can ensure a safe and accepting environment free from judgment. I use a strengths-based approach helping you develop the skills you already have. Typically, patients already know the things that are causing their problems, they just need a new perspective and new approaches to use their own strengths to turn things around for the better. I can help you improve your mental health and navigate life's challenges and changes and to improve overall well-being and self-confidence.

Today you are one step closer to achieving your goals and beginning a positive path toward growth and well-being. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work to better understand and resolve challenges in life. Applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will begin to change long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions holding you back from a more fulfilling and meaningful life.If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or ready to move in a new direction in life, I look forward to assisting you to achieve.

I enjoy working with clients who want to improve the way they approach their relationships with themselves, others, or the world. These clients may have recognized their current way of doing things is hurting themselves or others, or they may have simply identified they are not feeling their best.

I believe that counseling can help strengthen and empower all individuals. I strive to provide a welcoming, open, and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore concerns and experience true healing and growth.

I welcome people from all walks of life, including but not limited to: LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and individuals with disabilities by providing a safe and affirming environment to all.

Everyone experiences difficulties at some point in their lives. In those moments, reaching out for help can be one of the hardest things to do. It's my goal to make the counseling process as safe and welcoming as possible to help you reach your goals. I place emphasis on creating an environment that incorporates empathy, genuineness, understanding, and patience to develop an individualized form of therapy for each client.

I know life gets challenging sometimes, especially when we bring childhood trauma or phase life problems and transitions. Coming to therapy is an excellent opportunity to give us a chance to heal from harmful experiences and learn from them. We need a space to understand what is happening with the people around us and us. It is okay to challenge ourselves to grow and change. The point is to feel and get better, with more personal resources, a deeper understanding, and a better way to connect with ourselves and others.
