I’m glad you’re here! My name is Hayley and I am the Founder of Root to Rise Counseling Collective. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 152994) based in San Diego, California. My hope is to provide you a space for venting, crying, loving, questioning, reflecting, and re-building; to feel safe, heard, and understood.

Built on a decade of work as a personal trainer in the fitness field, I bring a mind-body-centered and holistic approach to my therapy. I thrive working with folks in their 20-30’s who tend to be perfectionists, high-achievers, and highly-anxious. Similarly, I love working with these individuals and their partners to navigate couple’s challenges such as communication issues, conflict management, and life transitions.

Whether it’s your first time seeking out a therapist or you’re a long-time pro, I hope to offer a new perspective, a listening ear, and a kind-hearted challenge.

Moe is both my ESA pup and a client-favorite companion. A lover of all things snuggly and cuddly, he is often alongside me in sessions snoozing in his bed. He is fully vaccinated and has passed his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test.

If you have any questions or concerns, please always send them my way!

As I’m sure you can tell by now, we want Root to Rise to feel like a home away from home. We understand that the most opportunity for growth comes from feeling safe and comfortable. Kick off your shoes, give Moe a snuggle, and let’s get to work!
