I have taught undergraduate and graduate students in marriage and family therapy, psychology, education, and social ecology for the last 13 years.
I believe that it is through the relationship with a caring and competent psychotherapist that clients experience emotional recovery and growth. I focus on the "here and now" in helping clients develop strategies to solve problems. Some clients come to therapy because they want to make significant and long-lasting changes in their lives; they want to change patterns of behavior that have not met their needs well in the past. I work to help these clients identify difficulties in how they cope with and solve problems and to develop new coping skills.

I am now offering individual, group, and family counseling.
Hi, my name is Hailey. I am grateful to be in this profession where I get to experience all the human complexities that make you, you. I started my work in psychotherapy doing crisis care in a youth shelter. This environment helped to develop a deep compassion for humanity and the skills to be able to advocate for human rights. It was at this job that I knew being a therapist was what I was meant to do. I have experience working with students in high schools and community colleges, doing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression.

Together we can nurture the calm, happy, and confident child, and close family that you're longing for!.
Children are uniquely wonderful...and also complex and confusing! It’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times as a parent. You’re constantly trying to figure out why your child is behaving the way they are...and what on earth to do about it. What worked last week is definitely not working today. What worked for a friend hasn’t worked for you with your child. You’re absolutely devoted to your little one and want to help them...but you don’t know what to do or where to turn. You wish you could discover the secret to unravel this mystery. Will things always be this hard for you and the child you love so much?

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
