I’m Hayley, an AMFT, experienced in working with individuals and couples. Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, high-achievement, hyper-independence, or trauma. They may notice a pattern of not feeling good enough, adequate, or worthy no matter 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 perhaps sad that their relationship isn't what they imagined. Don't worry, there's hope.

I practice with the intention of providing culturally sensitive and trauma informed services to support clients' mental well-being. My clients' common concerns include trauma, sexual well-being, depression, anxiety, adjustment to college, academic performance, relationships, and identity exploration. Many are interested in understanding the history of their presenting concern(s), how past experiences impact them currently, and what changes they can make to alleviate their concerns. During sessions, clients and I process their experiences and utilize their feedback to adjust interventions to ensure treatment aligns with their goals.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I have been in the field of mental health with a focus on complex trauma and substance use since 2013. When partnering with someone in therapy, my focus is relearning to care for our wounded parts with love and empathy. My clinical experience is broad; most recently my work has been with intergenerational trauma, managing emotional flooding, attachment, and creating a culturally compassionate space for Native folks.

Hi, I’m Katie, an AMFT, specialized in supporting couples and individuals to find healing. Are you craving closeness with your partner but feeling so far away? Are you caught in another fight and can’t find your way out? I help partners find a way back to each other by getting out of stuck patterns and connecting in a new and meaningful way. I have seen couples come out the other side of struggle more bonded than before, despite betrayals, infidelity, and long-term resentment. Healing is always possible.

I have over a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults who often feel like they’re on the outside of life looking in, due to chronic depression, complex trauma and anxiety. You present as polished, are often high achieving, and tend to be the emotional center of your family and social circle, intensifying feelings of isolation your symptoms are already causing. And the people in your lives are often shocked, because you have been masking your symptoms so thoroughly and for so long that they have become almost like your personality. Your deep empathy often comes from a source of your own deep pain.

In my late-20's I enlisted in the US Navy, where I served as a first responder and was part of the Sexual Assault Victims Intervention team. I've lived overseas with kids in tow, and have a deep understanding of the effects of betrayal, infidelity, and cross addictions. I've worked as a Hospice Spiritual and Bereavement Coordinator, a counselor at several crisis houses and transitional living centers, as well for non-profit agencies providing therapeutic services.
