Hilary’s journey into the mental health field was sparked by a fascination with how trauma is stored within the body. She guides clients to reconnect with their physical and emotional selves, unlearn shame, understand trauma responses, interrogate assumptions that no longer serve them, make values-aligned changes, and ultimately embrace their whole selves.

Hilary is passionate about meeting clients where they are and supporting their growth into the most expansive versions of themselves. Her approach is rooted in person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed principles, prioritizing the establishment of a strong foundation of trust. As a therapist, Hilary fosters this trust so that clients can, in turn, build trust within themselves. Hilary helps clients become more aware of ingrained patterns that no longer serve them, determine a path forward that aligns with their needs, and cultivate curiosity about their values, desires, and goals.

Hilary earned her M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from William & Mary in 2023 and is currently a LPCA in Kentucky. She holds certifications in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. She previously worked as an executive functioning coach to support students in managing issues related to ADHD. Hilary’s areas of specialization include somatic (body-oriented) trauma therapy as well as the intersection of neurodivergence, executive functioning challenges, and perfectionism. Beyond trauma and neurodivergence, Hilary is interested in working on issues of perinatal life changes, LGBTQIA2S+, life transitions, anxiety, and healthy relationships.
