Dr. Hayward is a Harvard- and Stanford-trained clinical psychologist with extensive experience using evidence-based treatments with adult individuals and couples. Dr. Hayward works with a wide range of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, grief, life transitions, and relationship issues. She is committed to respecting the worth of all persons, including those with differing abilities, races/ethnicities, gender identities, and the LGBTQ+ community.
Drawing on the most effective, research-backed methods—such as CBT, DBT, and ACT—Dr. Hayward tailors her approach to each client’s strengths, goals, and values. In her work with couples, she uses gold-standard, attachment-based interventions to help partners break through old patterns and build deeper, more secure connections.
Dr. Hayward conducted research on the science of happiness and resilience during her doctoral studies. Her findings have been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals and book chapters, and continue to inform her strengths-based approach to clinical work.
