“As therapists, we are in the business of freedom— we help people relinquish stories of self that are painful, stories of this moment that are alienating, stories of the future that are limiting.”
-Ili Rivera Walter
About Me
Welcome!
I’m Haeley, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I graduated from Pepperdine University with a Masters in Clinical Psychology. I’ve worked as a clinician in various settings such as residential treatment facilities, outpatient facilities and the education systems with populations ranging from children, to adolescents and adults.
Not only have I gained a vast amount of clinical experience through my career, I’ve learned how to best support my clients in their therapeutic journeys. I’m passionate about hearing your story - where you’ve been, what you’ve gained or loss, what you’re looking forward to and what makes life hard for you - and working with you to find the best way to help yourself confidently heal and make movements towards feeling your best, authentic and most content self.
Are you ready?
My Approach
Therapeutic Modalities
In our sessions, you can expect to experience evidenced based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy to reduce negative symptoms, process and heal from traumatic situations, develop healthy coping skills that will increase confidence in your abilities to maintain relationships with yourself and others.
Empowerment
My goal in our time together is to empower you to believe that you can make positive change in your life - even when things feel hopeless. Through our sessions, you will hear about self-compassion and how it’s a necessity to your growth and healing journey - I hope we can embrace it together.
Trauma Work
I offer a speciality service, EMDR, which is a type of therapy that allows people to heal from trauma. EMDR proves that the mind can heal from psychological trauma just as the body heals from physical trauma. We use a detailed protocol in these sessions that will help activate your natural healing processes at a more rapid rate than that of some Talk Therapy.
