As a Mental Health Therapist, I embarked on my journey of self-development in 2014, catalyzed by a life-altering panic attack during a traumatic event. Initially feeling isolated in my struggles, I sought help and immersed myself in various modalities aimed at nurturing my soul back to health. Through years of introspection and growth, I came to appreciate the profound significance of therapy as a safe haven, cultivating self-awareness, and harnessing the transformative potential of cognitive techniques. That's when I made the choice to transition from my role as an engineer to become a therapist.

I believe that each person has a unique purpose. Life presents with situations where depression, addiction, anxiety, eating too much, eating too little, low self-esteem, and no self-identity can distract a person from finding this unique purpose. I like to explore a variety of issues that keep you from experiencing your purpose in life and help you find your meaning and make sense of that meaning.

Using somatic therapy, IFS parts work, ACT, ERP, and mindfulness, we address anxiety, OCD, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions at the root.
You’re tired of feeling this way. Maybe it's the anxiety that won't quiet down, the relationship patterns you keep repeating, the weight of cultural pressures and family expectations, or a season of change that has you questioning everything like your identity, your relationships, or who you even are anymore. You've been holding it together for so long that you've lost sight of yourself in the process. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to keep figuring it out alone.

My work is integrative and draws on approaches like IFS, Somatic Experiencing and Coherence Therapy.
Was your trauma chronic, pervasive, and primarily occurred within important relationships? If so, you are likely suffering as an adult with feelings of shame, self-worth issues, anxiety, fear and depression. You may feel like you are constantly battling inner demons, despite outwardly having “a lot to be grateful for.” My work centers around recognizing that you’ve developed strategies to survive which are no longer serving you to thrive. Together we will work to process your pain, develop agency in your healing and make meaning of your suffering.

Let me help you process core negative beliefs and patterns to alleviate anxiety, perfectionism, & stressful negative emotions using EMDR (a big “T” and little “t” trauma modality), IFS (a framework to bring awareness to different parts of yourself), and emotion-focused approaches to cultivate compassion toward the part of you that needs it most.
I’m Hayley, a LMFT, working with hyper-independent women navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and infertility. You may find you've always been the "strong one". You may notice a pattern of not feeling good enough, inadequate, or unworthy no matter how hard you try. I'm here to help you rely on others, feel connected in your relationships, and/or authentically connect to your sense of self.
My couples feel stuck in miscommunication, conflict, and disconnection. They feel alone even when together, angry, or stuck wishing for a relationship that "could be" instead of leaning into the relationship that "is".

I have successfully coached healthcare workers through burn out by creating space for healing through acknowledgement and release of the stress and trauma stored in their body. Letting go of these negative experiences, strengthens their connection to others and brings clarity to their passion and purpose. I have also led trainings on topics such as emotion regulation, conflict resolution and effective communication. I created and led various support groups and trainings related to grief, chronic pain, imposter syndrome and burnout.
