She is passionate about supporting LGBTQ folks, especially those who would like to explore their gender. Many clients work with Hilary to find a sense of meaning as they go through major life transitions, which could include marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, switching careers, or moving to a new place. She also supports clients who struggle with chronic illness, the negative impacts of trauma, or those that would like to speak with someone before or after abortion

Hilary’s approach to therapy draws from many evidence-based therapy modalities. She practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients establish healthy coping skills and self-care routines. Clients also learn about the importance of recognizing negative or harmful thought patterns that lead them to assumptions or self-judgment. She is a holistic therapist who pays attention to the mind, body, and the spirit in her work, encouraging clients to find healing in all aspects of their lives. She often incorporates elements of mindfulness practices into her therapy sessions, which can look like deep breathing, mindful stretching, or visualizations.

Hilary earned a Master’s degree in Social Work. She takes a strengths-based perspective to working with clients, believing that each client comes to therapy with innate and unique strengths that can be used towards their own treatment. She enjoys helping clients reach their mental health goals and process through any roadblocks that arise.
