Haley embraces the transformative principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as the cornerstone of her clinical beliefs. Haley believes that at the heart of healing relationships lies the essential need for emotional connection and security. She's passionate about helping couples explore and understand their unique emotional dynamics, fostering open and honest communication. Haley firmly believes that, in the words of Dr. Johnson, "love is an antidote to pain," and she prioritizes creating a safe and nurturing therapeutic space where couples can rebuild and strengthen their bonds. At every step of the journey, Haley is dedicated to guiding couples towards a deeper, more fulfilling connection at our clinic.

For couples seeking therapy, it's essential to recognize the profound significance of our innate need for connection and the pivotal role that attachment plays in relationships. Just as children seek security and comfort from their caregivers, adults also yearn for emotional safety and closeness in their romantic partnerships. Understanding your unique attachment dynamics can be pivotal in navigating challenges and fostering deeper intimacy. Haley focuses on strengthening these attachment bonds. She helps you and your partner build trust, improve communication, and create a more fulfilling and harmonious connection. Connection is our tool for producing joy, understanding, and harmony.

Haley has completed EFT externship, a significant training for any EFT therapist.

An EFT externship is an intensive training program, designed to equip therapists with the essential knowledge and skills of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). During this training, therapists learn the foundational principles of EFT, practice techniques through role-play exercises, and gain insights from video demonstrations of actual therapy sessions. They receive valuable feedback and guidance from experienced trainers and engage in discussions to deepen their understanding of attachment theory and the therapeutic process. This training serves as a crucial step for therapists to provide effective EFT-based couples therapy, fostering stronger and more secure emotional connections for their clients.

Haley encourages all couples to complete prerequisite paperwork thoroughly and in advance so that she may come into your first session with a better understanding of what brought you here. She provides virtual sessions taking time to get to know a couple, and provides information on the process of EFT therapy.
