hi, i’m haley.
i’m so happy you’re here!
and i don’t believe in coincidences, so i trust that you are for a reason.
actually, my work is all about deeply trusting you and your experience so that you can ultimately do the same for yourself and eventually fire me.
i believe that your internal experiences are messengers, not pathologies or challenges to eliminate or self care your way out of, that point us to your inner healing intelligence - your innate human capacity for wholeness and wellbeing - and intuitive wisdom that more often than not, hold the exact answers you’ve been trying to find everywhere else.
because i continuously cultivate a relationship with my own shadows - and some days feel more connected to my messy humanness than feels comfortable - i’m not afraid of the dark. yours or mine. which means i can confidently stay with you in yours, creating a space where we can curiously explore and learn it’s landscape together. using my night vision to better understand it’s patterns and processes, we’ll cultivate a relationship with these parts of you so that you can learn to work with them rather than feeling like they’re hijacking your sense of agency. together, we build the relational blueprint for you to be your own compassionate, non-shaming witness , creating the space that allows you to finally be able to hear and listen to your own wisdom so that you can live a life that feels authentically your own and get off the healing treadmill.

Operating from a relational, existential, and person-centered lens, I believe that you are the expert on yourself and that a stable, warm, and authentic therapeutic relationship fosters the necessary environment for you to rediscover your own voice, truth, and power.
I incorporate elements of mindful self-compassion, parts work, depth psychology, somatic and felt-sense experiences, mindfulness, and David Bedrick’s “Unshaming Way”. Taking into my clinical expertise and your human expertise, together we’ll collaborate to create a uniquely tailored plan for you so you can embrace and live from your full spectrum being. -

Experience
In my 9 years as a therapist, I’ve provided trauma-informed care working in private practice, school, hospital, intensive outpatient, and managed care settings with individuals across the lifespan, spending many years specializing in work with teens, including substance use struggles, depression, anxiety, and trauma providing individual and group treatment. So, I’ve seen some stuff.
years ago a client told me this reminded them of our work together. compliment of the century.
