hello!
My name is Haley. I use she/they pronouns.
I’m an American that found her way to Tasmania in 2022. I’m excited to start providing care in the sexual heath sector here in Tasmania. As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and credentialed Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring years of evidence-based knowledge and training to this work.
I am passionate about my work with individuals, couples, and relational systems around issues of genito-pelvic pain conditions, perinatal sexuality and mental healthcare, menopause and aging, desire discrepancy, sexual identity and expression, gender identity and expression, relationship difficulties, finding freedom in authentic self-expression, and precommitment/premarital therapy.
I draw on humanistic and experiential theories such as Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Narrative Therapy. The work I do is informed by queer and feminist theory, as well as anti-oppression frameworks. I am sex and pleasure-positive, queer and neurodivergent-identified, and a Health At Every Size practitioner.
