Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who works with adolescents, adults, and couples. I have a unique experience helping clients work through relationship conflict, life transitions, identity concerns, trauma, and mood disorders (anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder). I also enjoy supporting clients address concerns related to adoption, self-esteem, insomnia, ADHD, parenting challenges, and school issues. Additionally, I welcome those who may be seeking a therapist who is part of the BIPOC community.

Specialist in family, friend and romantic relationships, anxiety, eating issues and substance use. Yale University (magna cum laude), BA. California Institute for Integral Studies, MA. 20 years experience working with individuals and couples. Clinical supervisor. Trauma informed/trauma focused. I am affirming, non-judgmental and active in sessions. I integrate CBT, DBT, attachment, neuroscience, mindfulness and somatics to support you in shifting patterns that may no longer be serving you. ••Therapy must be a place where you are understood, respected and believed - and where you get help that is actually helpful for you.••

I'm a therapist who walks alongside people on their journey of healing and self-discovery, like a mountain guide for the soul. I listen actively and provide personalized options, ideas, and new tools. I conduct the process with thoughtful questions and insightful activities. I don’t come in with answers, for each person already has their own as the expert in their own lives. I simply help guide them to uncover what's within. All the while, I hold each person with a deep unconditional positive regard using a combination of trauma-informed talk therapy infused with expressive arts, play, eco, Jungian, and depth therapies.

At Indigo Waters Counseling Services, we believe that mental health and wellness are essential towards living a fullfulling life. Children and adults are vulnerable to experiencing challenges balancing the various stressors life can bring about. We will work together to identify the core problems and develop treatment goals.

I believe that connections shape our everyday life and overall well-being. With that in mind, the core of my philosophy is to build a trusting and nurturing relationship with you in order for therapy to be successful. I bring compassion, warmth, and trust to each individual that I work with. I can assist in building upon your own strengths and abilities in order to live more authentically and with a greater sense of self-compassion. My practice is open to children, teenagers, and adults of all cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

Each client comes into my practice from their own profound life experience. Whether a child that needs support dealing with grief and loss; or an adolescent trying to grow into their own sense of being; or an adult navigating challenges at work or in relationships with others. I believe that when things show up in our lives it is a great invitation to meet that experience with openness even in the discomfort that may come with it. And to ask what it is trying to teach us about ourselves and our place in the world. What do we need to create to experience relief and growth?

We are in the midst of difficult times, filled with uncertainty, unsettling emotions and new challenges. You do not have to be alone in finding, creating, and examining solutions. I work with individuals, couples, and families in confidential and supportive telehealth and nature-based in person sessions. We can collaborate to find the most effective approach to meet your specific needs and goals. I treat anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, family conflict, grief, and provide parenting guidance. I also provide support and guidance through life transitions through customized ritual and ceremony creation and enactment.

Hi! I’m Hayley, a therapist serving California clients. I'm here to help you create a purposeful, balanced, and fulfilling life. My approach is gentle and body-centered. I guide individuals through difficult transitions toward living without limiting beliefs, doubts, and insecurities. We often mistake our limiting beliefs as truths about ourselves. Once we learn to meet ourselves with love and kindness, we start to heal. I'm here to guide you through your obstacles to clarity and inner freedom. In our work together, I will help you to create balance, overcome suffering and find a deeper sense of meaning in your life.

Accepting new clients throughout California for remote and in-person sessions in our group practice. We have clinicians available that specialize in a variety of client populations and mental health issues. We work with people to find real improvement in their lives and relationships. What would improve for you if you felt seen, heard and understood? How could your relationships grow if you moved beyond triggers and old wounds to a place of confidence and compassion?

Life is a complex journey that can feel overwhelmingly hard at times. We might be faced with challenges pertaining to adolescence, exploration of self, depression, anxiety, transitioning into adulthood, marriage, and/or relationship dynamics, miscarriages, loss/grief, birth and death, to name a few. And, asking for support may also feel as though it is not even in the realm of possibility. Issues around relationships, addressing marital roadblocks, divorce, self acceptance, connection, vitality, laughter, not enough support, wanting to be seen and wanting the love you never had are still possible to cultivate.

At some point in our lives, we all face challenges that seem overwhelming. It is at these times that the act of courage can be to reach out and collaborate with another. As a counseling therapist, I will work with you to increase your awareness and understanding and help you foster a process of change with the goal of increased life satisfaction, meaning, and purpose. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, post trauma symptoms or other personal challenges, I can help you define and set off on a path of symptom reduction and problem solving.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has devoted most of my experience to working with adolescents and their families supporting the transition from childhood to young adulthood for both parents and teens. I also work extensively with couples, both in supporting the parental relationship as well as strengthening parenting skills, as I have found that with the mounting stress in today's society, a strong home foundation improves the whole system.

I support my clients to transform stress, trauma, grief, relationship turmoil, and difficult habits into creativity, vitality, and freedom, using a rare combination of mindfulness, art therapy, and compassionate exploration of each clients unique experiences. My view is that all people hold the ability to evolve, and ultimately hold the wisdom within needed to do so. I collaborate with my clients as both an ally and a guide, to generate deep self acceptance, work through painful inner conflict, access imagination and genuineness, practice clear and empowered communication, and take action to live in more fulfilling ways.

My therapeutic approach comes from a place of love. I believe in meeting clients where they are, without judgment or discrimination. My style is integrated and person-centered, focusing on awareness of the here and now as a tool for change. I am sensitive to the influence of our environments and how that shapes us. Often we are guided by the stories we tell ourselves and the stories others tell us. It is important to assess our stories to determine if they are relevant or if they are someone else’s stories. It is through the exploration of the past and present that we are able to support a healthy future.

As humans, we all have varying identities and they ebb and flow over time. Much of our distress can come from those changes in identities and that's where therapy can really help. I love to help clients uncover and examine their true identities. Whether you are a new mom grappling with the absolute rocking of your world as you knew it, a teenager trying to create and figure out who you truly are, or any other human striving to live as your authentic self - I am here for you. I look forward to the privilege of being able to walk beside you and guide you along your journey.

Are you looking for a therapist who is warm and engaging, flexible and practical? I believe that developing a strong working relationship between therapist and client is the basis for growth and change. I listen to your needs first, and will work collaboratively to identify and work toward your goals. My specialties: Helping young children and their families understand development, work through challenging behaviors, anxiety, depression, anger and other mood concerns. Supporting adolescents as they strive for independence and maturity. Managing parenting stress for individuals and couples. Healing from trauma.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life and that having someone provide another perspective, without judgment, can make a big difference!

Do you wonder whether life could be better or want to be able to focus more on your goals and live your best life? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, or feeling disconnected from your self or others? Do you feel exhausted or frustrated by the thought that there is no light at the end of the tunnel or that something is missing? Now, more than ever, so many people are feeling drained and uncertain about finding their place in life. Not addressing past trauma or challenges can lead to even more overwhelm. We believe that it should not be so hard to live better, that people can change, and that there is hope.

Sometimes life’s inevitable challenges cause added stress, sadness, worry, feelings of being “stuck” or not feeling like yourself. I understand that calling to schedule your first therapy appointment might feel daunting. Perhaps you keep putting it off, wondering if therapy is necessary or even right for you. I believe that every person is deserving of support when life feels difficult.
