Hi there, I’m Hallie (rhymes with Sally)! I’m a licensed master social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in adolescent mental health.

I spent the 15 years before becoming a therapist working in youth engagement. The teenagers I saw every day often had zero interest in working with me and would rather be almost anywhere else. You can see how I got really good really fast at turning reluctance into participation. I often like to joke that I do depth oriented psychotherapy with the world’s shallowest creatures (hint: it’s a joke because the shallow teen is a common misconception). In my professional experience, I’ve found that teens are some of the most insightful, forthright, and engaged humans you’ll ever meet. I believe that teens often represent the best versions of ourselves and having a guide who takes their concerns seriously, spotlights their strengths, and helps them truly believe in themselves is invaluable during their formative years. I’ve dedicated my career to specializing in teens specifically because I know the impact that being great at the unique skills needed to serve teens can have.

As a therapist I am relatable, informal, funny, and deeply committed to empowering teens as they become the person they were meant to be. I’m honored to play a small part in your story.

When I’m not busy being a therapist, you can find me lifting weights in the gym, making my own clothes, and watching horror movies with my husband.
