  • Anxiety and depression can deeply affect one’s relationships, health, and daily functioning. Hallie uses validation and compassion to support clients in building self-awareness, while guiding them to challenge negative thoughts using skills like cognitive reframing and cognitive challenging.

  • Trauma often leaves us feeling psychologically and emotionally distressed or disturbed, which can inhibit our ability to cope and affect us in many different ways. Hallie uses a trauma-informed lens to offer a nonjudgmental and affirming space where healing from trauma can begin. 

  • Hallie has experience working with mood disorders and personality disorders such as Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. Hallie aims to create a space where clients can grow in communication skills, emotional regulation, interpersonal relationship skills, and coping skills.
