Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born out of the lack of Afrocentric based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their journey of life through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health and the denial of the experience of being a person of color continues to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to talk about these experiences.

Hi, I'm Haley! I work with adults and teens who are navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, and relationship concerns. You may be processing difficult childhood or family experiences, feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, or struggling to feel connected to yourself and the people you love. I also support individuals through grief, loss, and major life transitions, as well as teens and young adults working through trauma, identity, and relationships. Together, we can make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and begin building the understanding, coping skills, and connection you need to move forward. I believe people are more than what has happened to them, their symptoms, or their diagnoses, and I strive to understand each client as a whole person—including their experiences, relationships, emotions, strengths, and the ways they have learned to navigate the world.
