Hi, I’m Haley! I’m so glad you’re here.

HLP Therapy & Support is rooted in the belief that we all need extra support sometimes.

My early career as a hospital social worker has prepared me to help you overcome life’s most overwhelming seasons with warmth and compassion.

I specialize in grief and loss, perinatal mental health, stress and anxiety, chronic illness, and caregiver support.

 therapy with me is

  • I welcome all of you. I take a strengths-based and whole-person approach with each client I meet. I adore my clients and strive to help them feel seen and heard.

  • Our work together will be uniquely tailored to suit your needs. You deserve personalized, nuanced, expert care.

  • In sessions with me you'll find a safe and supportive space to process your thoughts and feelings. You will leave our sessions with new understandings and concrete tools to implement in your daily life.

  • There is room in therapy for the full range of human emotions. I will show up with my whole self, too. We will laugh and cry together.

My Approach

Our work together will be evidence-based and tailored to fit your needs and goals. I have a deep desire to understand others, and will strive to see you through the lens of the many roles, experiences, and identities that make you unique. My approach is warm and collaborative. In sessions with me you’ll find a supportive place to process, and leave with concrete tools to implement in your daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Commonly called CBT, this modality helps us to become aware of our thoughts and emotions so that we can better understand ourselves and more intentionally choose our responses to the stressors of life.

integrated mind and body work

I believe it is important to acknowledge the powerful connection between our bodies and minds. When appropriate, I will introduce mindfulness and somatic practices.

My background

In addition to the education and experience listed, I regularly participate in trainings to improve my practice and deepen my skillset.
