Hailey specializes in eating disorders, including ARFID, anorexia, bulimia, male-identifying eating disorders, and OSFED, as well as addiction, suicidality, self-harm, trauma, sexual abuse, faith integration, and adolescent and adult counseling. She is passionate about helping clients move toward freedom from shame, avoidance, and painful coping patterns.
Who I Work With
- Clients seeking eating disorder counseling for ARFID, anorexia, bulimia, OSFED, or male-identifying eating disorders
- Adolescents and adults navigating addiction, suicidality, self-harm, trauma, sexual abuse, or shame
- Clients who want faith integration to be part of therapy when relevant to their values and needs
- People working to reconnect with their bodies, understand emotions, and build a safer relationship with food and self
- Individuals seeking a collaborative, nurturing, relational space that supports advocacy, safety, and values-based growth
My Approach to Therapy
Hailey’s approach is humanistic, relational, and focused on emotional attunement and corrective relational experiences. She believes meaningful change happens through safe relational connection. In eating disorder treatment, the therapeutic relationship can become a powerful part of healing, supporting clients in practicing emotional expression, relearning trust, and rebuilding a sense of identity and worth.
Hailey integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed somatic counseling, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) concepts. ACT helps clients build awareness of emotions, reduce avoidance, and take steps toward values-aligned living. IFS supports clients in understanding protective parts with curiosity and compassion, creating more internal safety and self-leadership.
Somatic therapy helps clients reconnect with their bodies and understand how emotions show up physically. Through grounding, breath awareness, and gentle nervous system work, clients can gradually develop a sense of safety in their own bodies. Hailey also integrates attachment and relational work, recognizing the importance of experiencing consistent, present, and secure relationships in the healing process. Her work is trauma-informed and honors pacing, autonomy, and emotional safety at every stage.
What Clients Can Expect
Clients can expect Hailey to offer a compassionate, inclusive, and deeply relational counseling space. She prioritizes warmth, attunement, advocacy, and emotional safety. Therapy may involve understanding the function of coping patterns, naming shame, practicing self-compassion, reconnecting with the body, and exploring values that can guide recovery and growth.
Hailey’s work is collaborative and nurturing. She supports clients as they develop insight, strengthen internal safety, and move toward authenticity, connection, and freedom. For clients who have felt defined by shame, avoidance, trauma, or eating disorder patterns, therapy can become a place to rediscover resilience and belonging.
