Does any of this sound like you?
sensitive
You are thoughtful, highly aware & feel your emotions deeply
conflict avoider
You hate conflict & try to avoid it as much as possible to keep the peace
Perfectionistic
You consider yourself a perfectionist and like doing things the “right way”
Compassionate
You are highly empathetic and care deeply about your relationships
People-pleaser
It’s difficult to speak-up for yourself & you strive not to upset or disappoint anyone
self-critical
You have high standards for yourself and can be very critical of your mistakes
You want to be thriving in life, but right now…
You’re struggling to feel confident. Whether it’s anxiety or past trauma - it’s difficult to feel calm and kind to yourself.
You are intelligent and self-aware, but feel stuck despite doing all the “right” things to feel better.
-
Your mind won't shut-off. The racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, and tightness in your chest can make it hard to relax. You might feel on-edge and have low patience.
You try to find solutions, but end up feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
You can get stuck scrolling on your phone, or trying to stay busy - using anything to distract from what's going on in your head.
-
You feel things deeply, but sometimes your emotions seem overwhelming. You are good at distracting or disconnecting from them for a while, but eventually they show up again- and usually feel stronger than before.
You worry that your emotions are “too much” for others, and feel frustrated when you can’t control them.
-
You strive to do things perfectly, and feel self-critical when you make mistakes. You feel guilty and ashamed when things go wrong.
It’s easy to blame yourself and feel overly responsible for problems in your relationships.
-
You've gone through something painful and don't feel the same anymore.
You might know what triggers the pain from your past, but you feel stuck in changing your response. It’s frustrating, because it feels like you “should know” how to fix this.
-
You don't want to create conflict or problems, so you try to please everyone. It's difficult to speak-up for your own needs and be assertive.
You might feel guilty, and like you're a bad person when you try to set boundaries with difficult people.
In case no one has told you, being sensitive is not a bad thing.
Your empathy & passion for life are some of your greatest strengths.
Hi, I’m Haley
I specialize in trauma therapy for sensitive, self-aware women, who feel stuck and want to do deeper work.
I help my clients heal childhood trauma & understand themselves better, so they feel calmer, more confident, and have better relationships.
My clients walk away from therapy feeling less overwhelmed, more in-tune with their emotions, and believing that they deserve to be their authentic self.
Most women I work with have already tried coping skills & talking about their problems. I help you go deeper and heal the root cause of your symptoms.
how I can help
I specialize in therapy that goes deeper, for more lasting change.
My approach goes beyond venting & coping skills.
I use IFS therapy & EMDR therapy to help you get to the root of your pain & better understand your inner experience, so you can feel calmer.
