About My Clients

He specializes in working with LGBTQ+, Trans+, and questioning clients utilizing evidence-based practices. Before therapy, Hayden worked in advertising for 8 years. His life and education shape a straightforward, compassionate, curious, and humorous approach. He views each session as a learning experience, embracing the role of a healer and lifelong learner.

My Background and Approach

Hayden offers a collaborative approach to help clients feel more centered, heard, and fulfilled. As a queer, transmasc clinician, they ground their practice in intersectionality and identity, acknowledging that each individual is the expert of their own life experience. He utilizes a client-centered, strength-based approach to support adults and adolescents.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure how to make a change in life is a common experience. It’s normal to feel intimidated, especially if past therapy experiences were difficult or if you are new to the process. Hayden will guide you to make the best decision for yourself. His therapeutic methods are diverse, integrating behavioral-based practices, narrative therapy, queer theory, solution-focused, and psychoeducational techniques. He has expertise in working with adults and teens navigating issues related to gender, sexuality, identity, job/school stress, and major life changes. He is an EMDR-trained therapist.
