I’m Hayley, an AMFT, experienced in working with individuals and couples. Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, high-achievement, hyper-independence, or trauma. They may notice a pattern of not feeling good enough, adequate, or worthy no matter how hard they try. This tends to impact their ability to rely on others, feel connected in their relationships, or authentically connect to themselves. Often my couples feel stuck in miscommunication, conflict, and disconnection. They feel alone even when together, angry, or perhaps sad that their relationship isn't what they imagined. Don't worry, there's hope.

I specialize in couple and family therapy, and in working with college students. I also work with individuals experiencing professional burnout, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My style is authentic and practical. I work collaboratively with you to help you gain clarity, perhaps think differently, and ultimately improve your quality of life. I use clinical methods informed by neuroscience that bring about symptom resolution and coherence.

Hola! My name is Laura Folsom and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I’ve been providing therapy services since 2020. If there is one thing I want all of my clients to walk away from therapy with, it is gentleness with themselves. Life can be really tough and sometimes we cope by being really hard on ourselves.

Even when these messages are well intentioned or sent with love, we can turn them into unrealistic expectations or criticism that make us feel as if we aren't enough.
