Haley believes that we heal in connection, and that a collaborative and strong therapeutic relationship will be the foundation of your work together. In session, Haley will encourage your autonomy – she trusts that you have resources and so much wisdom within you already. They also firmly believes that you should feel in control of your therapy sessions, like the driver of a car, while she takes the passenger seat and offers suggestions for your consideration. By using an integrative approach, Haley blends a range of therapeutic tools and skills to uniquely tailor her sessions for each client. If ever something is not working for you, just let her know and she will adjust. Haley is honoured to partner with her clients on their individual journeys and will demonstrate this by prioritizing your safety throughout your work together.

More About Haley

Haley is a Registered Psychotherapist and active member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and obtained their Masters of Counselling Psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University and Bachelor of Arts from Brock University. Haley practices from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework, drawing on her education in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Perinatal training, Feminist Theory and other body-centred approaches.

Haley has a special interest in working with religious trauma and believes everyone deserves a safe space to work towards the exploration, deconstruction and reconstruction of their narratives to help determine what values and messages serve and best align with who they are now. Haley wants to empower their clients! They feel their role is to provide space for their clients’ narratives to be heard. In doing so, she supports clients’ with re-connecting to safety within their bodies, accessing their inner worlds and developing a greater sense of self-compassion and understanding of themselves.

As a fellow member of the LGBTQia2S+ community, a parent, and someone who is working on completing their Perinatal Mental Health Certificate (CPMHT), Haley enjoys working with parents, navigating their experiences in a way that fits for them and their family. Haley believes our parenting journeys aren’t meant to fit into a neat and tidy box, and loves having conversations on what societal narratives or systems are not serving us anymore and working alongside folks to find the ones that do.

In working with Haley, you can expect a dash of humour in the sessions as well as a relaxed, safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment. In her off time, Haley enjoys finding new documentaries and spots to hike, paddle boarding, weekly D&D adventures, and spending time with her friends, family, partner and wonderfully wild toddler.
