Hayley utilizes concepts and techniques from systemic, humanistic, mind-body, cognitive-behavioral, and trauma-informed perspectives. She is trained in utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to support her client’s in processing and making meaning out of challenging past experiences.She is also an Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) trainer and has a strong passion for deepening our understanding of suicide and expanding our ability to talk about it. Hayley approaches counseling from an integrative perspective because each client has their own story and ways of navigating life’s challenges.

Hayley specializes in working with law enforcement, first responders, veterans and their families. She not only provides individual, couples, and family therapy, but also enjoys providing wellness check-ins and training to law enforcement and first responders. Hayley also works with folks across the lifespan (ages 13+) and particularly enjoys working with LGBTQ+ teens and young adults in her practice. Clients can expect therapy with Hayley to be compassionate, direct, full of movie references, sitting in ‘the sh*t’ when needed, and a few giggles along the way. When not at work, Hayley enjoys giving car concerts free-of-charge to passing drivers, walking outside, spending time with her four-legged son, and doing art sh*t.

I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, drawing from various theories/styles to meet client needs. I like to utilize games, activities, videos, and books to engage and motivate clients toward reaching their goals. I encourage parent involvement and collaborate with others (teachers, case managers, etc.) to gain insight and promote growth across settings.

While I may appear laid-back and tend to use humor, I am also very passionate about mental health. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment where others feel they are heard and that they matter. I strive to be understanding, respectful, and supportive to the kids I serve, as well as their parents.

I have experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings with a unique interest in helping people who experience trauma and addiction challenges. I use a systemic perspective to address concerns and integrate different treatment modalities to meet the individual needs of my clients.

With 15+years in law enforcement, I am uniquely qualified to work with anyone in the emergency services field. I know that coming to therapy is an act of courage and vulnerability; I honor this courage and walk alongside clients as they work towards progress.
