Hi, I’m Hayley! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 152994) experienced in working alongside individuals and couples. More often than not, my clients resonate with words such as perfectionist, high-functioning and highly-anxious, or hyper-independent. They often notice a pattern of not feeling good enough, adequate, or worthy no matter how hard they work or how hard they try. This tends to impact their ability to rely on others, feel connected in their relationships, or authentically connect to themselves.

Often my couples feel stuck in miscommunication, conflict, and disconnection. They feel alone even when together, angry, or stuck wishing for a relationship that "could be" instead of leaning into the relationship that "is". They may notice they do not have “99 different fights, but have the same fight 99 times”.

I am here to help you process core negative beliefs and patterns to alleviate anxiety, depression, & stressful negative emotions using EMDR (a big “T” and little “t” trauma modality), IFS (a framework to bring awareness to different parts of yourself), and emotion-focused (EFT) approaches to cultivate compassion toward the part of you that needs it most.

  • Two of my top priorities in providing mental health services are:

    1. Ensuring you feel that we are a great fit for the work that you want to do. We can only go as far as the trust that we build in our therapeutic relationship together.

    2. A solid foundation of evidence-based frameworks from which we are tackling your challenges together.

    Throughout our work together you can expect me to provide insights, interventions/exercises, and strategies based on the following therapeutic modalities:

    EMDR (Eye-Movement Re-processing and Desensitization) — A powerful therapy for healing from trauma, anxiety, and painful memories. It uses guided eye movements (or other forms of bilateral stimulation) to help your brain reprocess tough experiences so they don’t feel as overwhelming or triggering.

    Emotion-Focused Therapy — A therapy approach that helps individuals and couples break out of unhealthy patterns, communicate better, and feel more emotionally connected. It’s all about understanding each other’s deeper feelings and creating a more secure, loving relationship.

    Internal Family Systems — Think of your mind as having different “parts” (like the self-doubter, the overachiever, or the people-pleaser). IFS helps you understand these parts, heal emotional wounds, and feel more balanced and in control of your inner world.

    Gottman Methods for Couples — A science-backed approach to improving relationships by strengthening communication, trust, and emotional connection. It gives couples real, practical tools to work through conflicts, build intimacy, and create a relationship that lasts.
