Big news! I was recently offered a spot to attend the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) through the International OCD Foundation this June.

This highly sought-after training, which often has long waitlist, focuses on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard treatment for OCD. BTTI includes intensive specialty training followed by consultation designed to strengthen real-world clinical application when treating OCD and related disorders.

Currently, there is limited access to this level of specialized OCD training in our area, with very few clinicians having completed this program. I’m excited for the opportunity to continue growing as a clinician and to bring back additional tools and knowledge to better support clients navigating OCD and anxiety.

I often get asked how do I access the practice portal. On the portal you can compete paperwork , manage appointments , join telehealth sessions , send secure messages to your therapist , and look at account information
Here it is :

TherapyPortal improves patient/therapist communication by allowing for self-scheduling, appointment reminders, and much more.

Haley officially started with us this week and is already scheduling appointments!

She is filling up quickly, so if you’ve been thinking about getting started, now is the time to reach out.

Currently seeing ages 4 and up with immediate openings.

We are beyond excited to welcome Haley to our team!

Haley brings incredible energy, creativity, and strong clinical experience working with clients across the lifespan — from children as young as 4, to teens navigating school, friendships, and growing pressures, to adults managing stress, anxiety, and life transitions. We truly believe she will be an amazing support for so many in our community.

She integrates evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Trauma-Focused CBT with creative interventions including play therapy, art therapy, music therapy, and storytelling. These approaches help clients express themselves, build coping skills, and make meaningful progress.

Haley is passionate about helping people feel heard, understood, and supported. She also enjoys helping parents better understand and navigate their child’s mental health while keeping the focus on empowering the client.
