She is knowledgeable and practiced in the field having helped several students prepare for licensure. Haley is currently working on a course to help clients hack their mental health and overcome trauma.
Haley's dreams for Greater House Counseling include training other therapists and helping heal hearts, homes, and the world. She believes changing the world starts with healing ourselves. As we mend our own hearts, the families, friend groups, and other relational systems we are a part of cannot help but change in response to our new way of being. Similarly, the world changes as our churches, families, schools, and neighborhoods think and respond differently. Together, we can change the world. One heart and one home at a time.
Haley is married to her amazing husband Zach. Together they have served in church leadership and have lived as resident coordinators in a homeless shelter. It was during their time at the shelter that Haley learned the single leading cause of homelessness was the breakdown of the family unit. Before addiction, poverty, victimization, and trauma the family-system was torn apart. If home is where the heart is, it was the loss of close friends and families that left our displaced neighbors homeless. Together Zach and Haley cling to God's promise in Haggai 2:9 that "the present house shall be greater in glory than the former house..., and in this place [He] will grant peace." To Zach and Haley, healing the family is one of the key ingredients to seeing the Greater House of God's Kingdom on Earth.
