Teletherapy for California

Welcome! By landing here, you’ve taken a momentous first step towards loving and trusting yourself more fully. Whether you want to deepen your intimate relationships, express yourself more authentically, cultivate inner peace, heal from abuse or trauma, explore polyamory, address issues specific to your sexuality or gender identity, or so much more, I am here to help. With my collaborative approach, we will unlock your potential to set healthy boundaries, shift limiting beliefs, make peace with your body, navigate uncertainty, embrace paradox, transcend polarities, embrace “good enough,” and learn to dance in the rain so to speak.

You are doing the best you can. If you could snap your fingers and stop the obsessive thoughts and worries you would, right? If could make yourself quit retelling negatives stories about yourself and your life, stop feeling depressed, you would have already. The truth is life is as challenging as it is remarkable and respecting how trauma, stress, neglect, or illness are showing up in your body and experience is paramount to healing. Trauma can show up as patterns of protection that keep us stuck in feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, hopelessness, and fear. And keep us from enjoying secure and loving relationships with others.

All roads lead to Rome! It doesn't matter where we jump in, if you’re ready, we’ll get there. My approach is based on Attachment Theory: the idea that much of our conflict & distress stems from old wounds & unmet needs. De-coding this blueprint provides a path toward healing & fulfillment. Trauma, relational issues, addiction, the plight of the pre-teen/teen/YA, unleashing the creative spirit, & living life “on purpose” are all areas I am passionate about. I incorporate trauma-informed, conventional therapeutic modalities ( IFS , EFT, DBT, ACT) and a Buddhist Psychology perspective. I am a rabid ally and advocate for equality.

I love helping people get unstuck, break free, find clarity, and move forward. When we work together, you will experience a space free of judgment and full of grace and understanding, you will also experience challenges to set aside behaviors that no longer serve you, and you'll be encouraged to identify with the bravest, kindest, most hopeful part of yourself. My clients often say to me with a smile, "you are harder on me than my previous therapist(s)" and my response is often the same, "It's because I believe in you." And I do! You've got a life to get on living, let's get unstuck from this way of being that keeps us trapped.

Perhaps you are here because you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just worn out. You want to feel better but wonder if that's possible. Coming to this website is one step you're taking to feeling better. Bravo to you for doing that! Drawing from my 22 years of experience working with people seeking healing, I hope to partner with you as you work through the challenges of feeling better, really growing, and making lasting, significant changes. I am a careful listener. I work with you respectfully to identify old patterns and update them to meet your needs now.

The decision to begin therapy is a courageous step–one that can be life-changing. Whether you are feeling anxious, sad, stressed, angry, confused or stuck, therapy can offer a safe space for you to explore your inner world and gain new insights and skills. I have helped clients across the lifespan manage difficult emotions, heal traumas, gain self-confidence, learn new skills for navigating romantic and social relationships, find relief from long-term mental health issues, uncover creativity and life purpose, and reconnect with their partners in new ways. Therapy is a collaboration and I am here to help you on your journey.

Couples therapy lights me up! Not feeling heard, understood, valued or supported? Repetitive shaming & blaming? Withdrawing? Needing help? Utilizing evidence-based EFT & powerful tools from PACT, NVC & IFS ,I help couples create a secure bond & safe haven with each other. You'll learn to trust, support, hear & "be there" for each other. Develop critical self-awareness, accountabiity & WE instead of just ME mentality. Turn towards each other instead of away with vulnerability, authenticity, compassion & attunement. Discover attachment styles, the brain & nervous system, survival parts & trauma that may be hurting your relationship.

Welcome! As a therapist who specializes in inner journey work, I am experienced in helping my clients find their joy and express their most authentic selves, from healing deep trauma to a more coaching style of transformational guidance. Using mindfulness, radical compassion, somatic and energetic awareness, internal family systems theory, and EMDR, I have witnessed incredible transformation in the lives of my clients. I’m truly honored to do this work. As a person with my own complex trauma history, I've experienced the challenges of learning regulation in my nervous system again.

You're doing it all - online yoga classes, meal-prepping, killing it at work, and making the best sourdough starter on this side of the Colorado River. But when you hit the pillow at night - there's a loneliness, a deep dissatisfaction, anxiety, a stirring discontentment. On the surface, you've got your shit together, but deep down - your life is being hijacked by your self-judgment, anxiety, negative beliefs, and the inner saboteur. Are you ready to get out of your own way so that you can finally enjoy relationships, work, and family? Your heart wants to be held and we were never meant to do this alone.

NOTE: A therapy dog and walking therapy are available for in-person sessions. I welcome individuals navigating all life issues and have specialties in anxiety, relationships, and living with chronic illness. I make it my mission to completely see and understand the dimensions of your world. We tackle relational, emotional, and personal challenges that affect you deeply. I help take the weight off your shoulders so you can rest knowing you don't have to hold it alone.

Are you experiencing grief and loss? Are you navigating health challenges or chronic illness? Do you have parts of yourself that are difficult to share with others? Have you experienced medical or relational/attachment trauma? You've come to the right place. As a queer therapist with chronic illness, I draw from both professional and lived experiences. I believe that therapy can be a reparative experience and that the relationship between a therapist and client has the ability to foster immense change and growth.

I believe that receiving therapy should no longer be taboo. Confiding in others and receiving professional help is something we all do in many facets of our life. Most of us see a doctor or go get our car fixed when we have issues with our physical health or a tire is loose, so why not see a therapist to help improve our mental health?

I pride myself on being a fat identifying, weight-inclusive, and identity affirming therapist. I engage in a Weight-Neutral/Inclusive perspective while respecting bodily autonomy. Whether your goals be relational maintenance (with the self or others), building body confidence/acceptance, or processing trauma, I make it my mission to create an environment where you creek safe to explorer your needs. It can be difficult to feel heard due to current circumstances. My practice lays on the foundation of empathetic intuition, multicultural competency, and interactive listening. You are not alone. My name is Haley and I'm here to Help.

My therapeutic intention is to cultivate a safe and supportive space for clients to connect with themselves and express their deepest truths in order to foster personal growth, healing, and self awareness. Together, we will sort through difficult emotions, major life changes, past trauma, negative belief patterns, work stress, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and any other issue that is leaving you feeling stuck, distressed, or not like yourself. We will explore the roots of what is going on, implement tools to promote balance and resilience, process unresolved trauma, and learn how to be more loving to yourself and others.

I believe that most people want to be emotionally balanced, have deep and meaningful personal relationships and be productive members of their communities. We all have some difficulties in these areas and could use some objective, expert help. I help you identify roadblocks to effective and healthy coping with life's complexities. I offer: couples and family counseling, men's growth groups, men's sexual addiction recovery groups and help for their partner, and individual therapy. I use multiple modalities which EMDR (for trauma, anxiety, and stress relief), Feeling States Addiction Protocols, and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

I am deeply committed to assisting people uncover their full potential by addressing hidden emotional barriers. In 2003, I attained my master’s degree in Social Work at California State Long Beach, CA. I have an extensive history working with patients dealing with chronic health issues and outpatient mental health.
