About Me
Hi- I’m Bailey. I specialize in working with a variety of ages and provide therapy for grief, anxiety, divorce, and more!
I love music and was in choir through elementary, middle and high school. I also play piano and guitar. It is one of my favorite outlets of self-expression and self-care. I also like to hike and camp with my siblings and spend time with my best friends drinking coffee. When I need to chill, I enjoy a good game or movie night. When I’m spending time alone, I like to work on my sewing skills and read whatever novel fits the season.

AGES SEEN
I enjoy working with all ages but have a special love for young elementary aged kids because of their curiosity and resilience.
There’s just something magical about working with kids. As a therapist, I get to be there during those tender, pivotal moments, whether they’re facing grief, divorce, or anxiety, and help them find their way forward. I believe therapy has the power to shape how kids see themselves and the world, influencing the attitudes, behaviors, and achievements that lie ahead. Kids and teens bring such curiosity, creativity, and imagination into the room, and I love celebrating their progress, no matter how small, and encouraging growth and well-being along the way.
PHILOSOPHY
I enjoy working with clients and families who are able to show up as their authentic, and most often messy, self. I value honesty and love to work with people that do the same. I also recognize that it can be hard to reach out for help and to admit when things aren’t working or going well. However, I see my role as one to support not only the child but the whole family system. As the primary support system for their children, a parent’s love, stability and comfort are essential to a child’s mental wellness. Collaborating with parents allows me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the child’s context and tailor interventions effectively.
I have seen amazing growth in my child in such a short time. Bailey has done a wonderful job.
We have been with multiple therapists and its the first that our kid looks forward to going to and often wants to talk to them other than us. Our kid continues to make improvements because of his therapist and has helped us as parents to better approach our kid with what they need. I am also grateful that their therapist takes time out to be part of transition and/or IEP/504 meetings with their school.
Bailey is so diligent, capable and supportive not just of our daughter but we as caretakers. We really appreciate all her help and guidance.
Love the tangible homework assignments to help with my child’s treatment. My child’s therapist and I have constant communication and I love that.

When Your Child “Flips Their Lid”
If you’ve ever seen your child go from calm to overwhelmed in seconds, you’re not alone. Many families describe these moments as “big feelings taking over.”
