Hello! I’m Haley and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving Colorado. I’ve earned my Bachelor’s of Science (BASc) in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University and my Master’s degree (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Psychocounseling from Northwestern University.
Throughout my training, I have worked with many different mental health diagnoses and degrees of severity. I specialize in supporting adults and couples recovering from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma (C-PTSD), grief and loss, and challenges related to intimacy and relationships.
I am especially aligned with women who are seeking healthy, fulfilling love; navigating complex family or personality dynamics; improving self-esteem; healing from abusive situations; experiencing postpartum stress; or stepping into the role of motherhood for the first time. I offer tangible feedback and take an experiential, compassionate approach. I utilize evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Counseling (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Counseling (DBT), Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Counseling (EFT), Gottman Couples Counseling Methods, and Psychodynamic Counseling in order to help my clients achieve satisfying outcomes based on their specific needs. I emphasize safety, trust, and cultural awareness, and am grounded in the belief that every client has the internal resources to live a life they’re proud of. Clients are supported in building greater insight into their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and underlying needs, as they develop practical skillsets that provide relief.
I’ve witnessed profound and lasting changes in the clients I work with—ranging from uncovering and reshaping relationship patterns that lead to long-lasting connection, to deep emotional healing, increased self-acceptance, and meaningful lifestyle shifts.
My own connection to the hardships many of my client’s face, along with a deep appreciation for the transformative power of counseling, is what inspires me to give back through this work.
Counseling isn’t just for crises, it’s for rediscovering who you are, and for being seen, perhaps for the first time. When I am not providing services I enjoy swimming, mountain-biking, and snowboarding. I also engage in many of the practices I share with my clients, such as breathwork, meditation, and yoga.
I am a humanistic and person-centered therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and eclectic techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I will work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. I am currently accepting patients Monday-Thursday and accept private pay or Anthem/BCBS, Aetna, and United Insurance.
When I’m not providing counseling services, I’m either traveling, spending time outdoors (skiing, hiking, paddle boarding, you name it), playing/watching sports, snuggling and playing with my pets (dog and cat), and spending time with my husband and my daughter and son who are the loves of my life. I absolutely love Colorado and all the adventures that come with our beautiful state. I graduated from Cherry Creek High School in 2004 and I am very familiar with the Greenwood Village/ Centennial areas. I have a huge passion for climbing mountains and even spent summer of 2015 reaching my goal of climbing to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa! I believe with passion and motivation that anything can be accomplished. I hope that through my therapeutic work I can encourage others to achieve their goals and conquer their own personal “peaks!”
