My Story

Hi! My name is Haley, I have been working with children and their families for since the beginning of my undergrad experience. Children have always been a passion of mine, it amazes me how resilient they truly are. I am also fascinated by how much impact and power a family, support system, and community can have. That is why I love working with both, children and their families, to help everyone reach their highest potential! 

My Blue Bird Day

What I enjoy the most about Blue Bird is getting to work with children in various settings; in large groups, small groups, individually, outside, in a classroom, and even out in their community. It gives a therapist the opportunity to really understand a child in all environments and gives the child an opportunity to really show their strengths!
