Hailey obtained a Master's in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Windsor and holds an Honours BA in Psychology from York University.

Her areas of expertise includes the specialized treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, and issues related to emotion dysregulation.

Hailey's career as a social worker began as a crisis support worker on a mobile crisis team, where she encountered a diverse range of individuals in need. It was during these experiences that she discovered the universal applicability of DBT skills, igniting her interest in this therapeutic modality. From there, Hailey has supported folks in a variety of therapeutic settings, including outpatient hospitals, hospital emergency departments, and community agencies. Hailey has traditionally worked with clients of diverse backgrounds, including the LGBT+ community and those identifying as BIPOC; she is committed to operating under a anti-oppressive, anti-racist and strengths-based framework.

Hailey's unwavering commitment to her clients' well-being, combined with her extensive training and diverse experience, positions her as a trusted advocate for those seeking compassionate and effective mental health support. In addition to her endeavours in therapy, Hailey is passionate about teaching and mentoring others in the field, and regularly offers psychoeducational trainings and consultation to fellow clinicians and students via DBT HOUSE.
