Hi, I’m Haley. Welcome to Homestead Healing.
If you’re here, it’s probably because life feels a little heavier than usual — or maybe you’re just looking for a space to breathe, to process, or to feel heard. Either way, I want you to know you’re already doing something brave by showing up.
I created Homestead Healing as a space that feels like home — safe, grounded, and full of compassion. A place where you can set everything down and know that what you share stays here, safe in the vault.
My Approach to Therapy
I believe therapy should be real, human, and heart-centered — not clinical or cold.
I meet my clients where they are with empathy, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand their world. Together, we work on what’s getting in the way of your peace — whether that’s anxiety, self-doubt, relationship stress, or just the weight of everyday life.
You don’t need to have something “wrong” to come to therapy. Sometimes, you just need a space to talk through things that don’t make sense, to untangle thoughts that feel too loud, or to finally say the things you’ve been holding in.
My role isn’t to fix you — because you’re not broken. It’s to walk beside you as you learn to heal, grow, and rediscover your own strength. Together, we’ll create a space that feels safe, grounded, and real — where healing happens in your own time, at your own pace, and always with compassion at the center.
A Little About Me — Beyond the Couch
When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me at home — most likely mid-project convincing my husband that this one won’t take long but somehow ends up on his already overflowing to-do list. I’m famous for finding just one more thing to clean, organize, or “improve,” simply because it makes sense to me and somehow that rhythm keeps me grounded.
My life is what I like to call organized chaos — kids darting around, dogs and cats weaving between feet, and roosters crowing at any hour of the day. I tend to rewatch the same handful of old TV shows — the kind that feel like comfort food for the soul — and I find calm in the simple moments — a tidy corner, a good book, and time spent outside surrounded by all the moving pieces that somehow make up my calm (and chaos).
I love a good project, a cozy space, and the feeling that growth doesn’t always have to be perfect — just intentional
Education & Experience
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from NC State University and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Addiction Studies from NC Central University.
My clinical experience has included working in both inpatient and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported individuals navigating substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I’ve had the privilege of walking beside clients in some of their hardest seasons — from crisis stabilization and recovery work to building healthier patterns in everyday life.
Each setting has taught me something unique: how resilience often grows in the quietest moments, how progress rarely looks linear, and how deeply healing it can be to feel truly seen. These experiences shaped my integrated, person-centered approach and reminded me that healing is never one-size-fits-all.
In 2021, I opened Homestead Healing with the hope of creating a space that feels safe, grounded, and real — a place where clients could come home to themselves and find support that honors both their story and their strengths. Over the years, I’ve continued to learn that while our paths may look different, the need to feel understood, accepted, and connected remains universal.
Why I Do This Work
I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to think, “No one gets it. No one understands.” and how lonely it can feel when you’re trying to be “fine.” I used to think asking for help meant I was failing — the quiet belief that needing support somehow meant I wasn’t strong enough.
But I’ve learned the truth: seeking help isn’t weakness. It’s courage. It’s the moment you decide that your peace matters more than your pride.
And that’s what I want this space to be for you — a home for your healing.
“You’ve held it together long enough — let this be where you set it down.”
