Does any of this sound like you?
sensitive
You are thoughtful, highly aware & feel your emotions deeply
conflict avoider
You hate conflict & try to avoid it as much as possible to keep the peace
Perfectionistic
You consider yourself a perfectionist and like doing things the “right way”
Compassionate
You are highly empathetic and care deeply about your relationships
People-pleaser
It’s difficult to speak-up for yourself & you strive not to upset or disappoint anyone
self-critical
You have high standards for yourself and can be very critical of your mistakes
You want to be thriving in life, but right now…
You’re struggling to feel confident. Whether it’s anxiety or past trauma - it’s difficult to feel calm and kind to yourself.
You are intelligent and self-aware, but feel stuck despite doing all the “right” things to feel better.
-
Your mind won't shut-off. The racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, and tightness in your chest can make it hard to relax. You might feel on-edge and have low patience.
You try to find solutions, but end up feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
You can get stuck scrolling on your phone, or trying to stay busy - using anything to distract from what's going on in your head.
-
You feel things deeply, but sometimes your emotions seem overwhelming. You are good at distracting or disconnecting from them for a while, but eventually they show up again- and usually feel stronger than before.
You worry that your emotions are “too much” for others, and feel frustrated when you can’t control them.
-
You strive to do things perfectly, and feel self-critical when you make mistakes. You feel guilty and ashamed when things go wrong.
It’s easy to blame yourself and feel overly responsible for problems in your relationships.
-
You've gone through something painful and don't feel the same anymore.
You might know what triggers the pain from your past, but you feel stuck in changing your response. It’s frustrating, because it feels like you “should know” how to fix this.
-
You don't want to create conflict or problems, so you try to please everyone. It's difficult to speak-up for your own needs and be assertive.
You might feel guilty, and like you're a bad person when you try to set boundaries with difficult people.
In case no one has told you, feeling deeply is not a bad thing.
Your empathy & care are some of your greatest strengths.
Hi, I’m Haley
I specialize in trauma and anxiety therapy for self-aware women, who feel stuck and want to heal the root of their symptoms.
I help my clients heal from painful experiences & understand themselves better, so they feel calmer, more confident, and have better relationships.
My clients walk away from therapy feeling less overwhelmed, more in-tune with their emotions, and empowered to be their authentic self.
Most women I work with have already tried coping skills & talking about their problems. I help you go deeper and heal the root cause of your symptoms.
how I can help
I specialize in therapy that goes deeper, for more lasting change.
My approach goes beyond venting & coping skills.
I use IFS therapy & EMDR therapy to help you get to the root of your pain & better understand your inner experience, so you can feel calmer.

Some helpful thoughts:
We are likely a good fit if…
You want to go beyond talking about your problems and change how you respond, instead of react
You feel ready for deeper work, and want to experience real change (with support of course!)
You resonate with being sensitive, self-aware, a perfectionist, or a “people-pleaser”
You want to understand yourself better, feel more balanced, and be kinder to yourself
I’m not the right therapist for you if…
You are looking for a quick fix, or only feel ready to talk about your problems
You don’t feel ready to commit the time & effort it takes to address your goals
You are in immediate crisis or actively struggling with substance abuse
You don’t feel comfortable exploring your emotions, body sensations, or past experiences
