About Hayley C.

You’re longing for the spark again and that feeling that you and your partner are in it together. But lately, love feels like work, and connection feels just out of reach.
 You find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, avoiding the hard conversations, or feeling more like roommates than romantic partners. You’re not sure how you got here, but you know you don’t want to stay stuck in this place of disconnection, tension, or silence. You miss the laughter, the ease, the team dynamic.

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? You want to feel close again and to stop walking on eggshells. To be able to communicate without it turning into a blowup and to feel seen and wanted. Whether you're dating and navigating expectations, newly married and learning each other’s rhythms, growing a family, or rediscovering yourselves as empty nesters, you just want your relationship to feel strong and fun again. You want to be heard, respected, and safe in your love.

That’s where I come in! I love LOVE (yes, all caps!) and I’m passionate about helping couples reconnect, deepen their bond, and refill their “love tank.” My therapy room is a space where raw emotions are encouraged, tears are welcome, and even a little laughter can sneak in. I blend creativity, evidence-based practices like the Gottman Method, and a whole lot of heart to help you move from surviving to thriving. My studies and research have led me to understand the ways in which humans limit love to romance- disregarding all the other wonderful ways love can enrich their life. I never tire from exploring the many dimensions and layers of love. I work with couples at all stages of their love journey: navigating expectations in dating, premarital counseling/newlyweds, couples growing their families, balancing their role as parents & managers of the household, and empty nesters who are trying to design their next chapter together. I also support families navigating life transitions, teens and parents working through boundary shifts, and individuals with disabilities building independent living skills. No matter who’s in the room, I bring fun, an empathetic ear, a fresh perspective, and a deep commitment to helping you rewrite your relationship story.

I hold a Master of Arts in Couple & Family Therapy from Adler University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rochester College. People describe me as emotionally intelligent, energetic, and warm. Outside of therapy, you’ll find me making candles, creating content, curating the perfect playlist, and refueling my own love tank with good food, great music, and even better company. I believe in a selfless version of love that is layered, expansive, and worth fighting for, and I’m here to help you rediscover yours.

“I love LOVE and I’m passionate about helping couples reconnect, deepen their bond, and refill their ‘love tank.’”
