What’s up folks?! My name is Hayden and I’m a therapist and licensed clinical social worker dedicated to supporting the LGBTQIA2S+ community, millennials, and young adults. Whether you’re navigating identities, neurodiversity, exploring gender, living with depression or anxiety, or going through life transitions, I’m here to support you. In a world where it can be challenging to show up as authentically you, I see you and I hear you. Sometimes all we need is a welcoming and affirming space where we can truly be ourselves. I’m here to partner with you in creating that space.

Transformations often feel isolating and overwhelming; life-affirming changes may create distance from the people you care about. When we question ourselves, its hard to know where to turn for perspective. I love working with folks who see themselves as outside the gender and relationship mainstream; it takes a lot of courage and can also be painful to navigate. We can dig into what your identity means to you and how to embody it while building a life worth showing up for.

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) is designed for people that struggle with over-thinking, obsessional thinking, trouble relaxing, rigid or inflexible responding, excessive self control, avoidance of feelings or expressing emotions, maladaptive perfectionism, and high levels of loneliness. People with overcontrol (OC) report "seeing the threat everywhere." They tend to mask emotional expressions, sometimes without even knowing they are. Many OC's have a high-attention-to-detail focus (other's behaviors or household or work tasks), and find they ruminate when things are uncertain or unexpected.

I am happy to apply my clinical skills to a variety of areas, including panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, mood problems and general problems in living. I have also run the Autism Lab where I am a Professor and Chair of Psychology - so more than willing to consult on Autism and related problems.

Does your relationship cause you more pain than joy? Do you feel misheard or misunderstood in conflicts with your partner? Do you feel blamed by your partner, even when you weren't at fault? These may be signs you are in an emotionally/verbally abusive relationship. All couples have conflict, but emotionally abusive relationships wear away our sense of who we are and leave us doubting our sanity. I can help you understand what is your responsibility in the relationship, and what is not, and help you to cope if you decide to stay, or to move forward and recover if you decide to leave.

I specialize in a type of therapy that believes your problem or issue is external to you as a person. It lives in the world, not in you. In my practice we put that problem out in front of us, then step back and examine it. Looking at the problem as separate from you helps you understand it better and allows you to you experience yourself in new ways. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and Narrative therapy to treat survivors of trauma, whether that is Big “T” (profound and debilitating) or Little “t” (smaller “everyday” or less pronounced events).

I believe we are most whole when we’re able to touch and care for the deepest parts of ourselves. But how do we find those parts? How do we hold them? Do we deserve wholeness? These are some of the questions I’m most interested in helping you explore, whether you feel othered, alone, struggling, lost, damaged, or just curious about what else is possible. I’m a counselor because I can think of no better way to spend my time than to sit with others and hear about what genuinely matters to them. I especially enjoy working with couples as they navigate creating a life together.

*Please note that I continue to be 100% distance based for the time being* It isn't always easy to reach outside of ourselves when we are feeling deeply lonely and experiencing extreme emotions. These are precisely the times, though, when it makes sense to try to find people with whom we can talk without too much fear of judgment or rejection. In my role as Therapist, I actively commit to strive to be one of those people; to meet you wherever you are emotionally, in a comfortable, confidential and respectful setting.
