My name is Leah and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) experienced in & passionate about walking with others through difficult spaces & places in life. I have my Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Dallas Baptist University in 2019, with additional training in working with teens, trauma, and other life issues. I love to incorporate expressive arts techniques, addressing thoughts (CBT), and a mixture of other modalities to best help serve you as an individual. I am a Christian counselor and can approach therapy from this perspective, but am also open & honoring to people with all differing religious perspectives.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, after briefly going over logistics & any questions you may have about therapy, my primary goal is to get to know you & understand what brings you to therapy. For adolescents I usually spend additional time building relationship to get to know them better & create a safe environment. In therapy I want you to feel cared for and help you grow. We will go over your primary presenting problems and goals for therapy in the session, which will help us to create a unique plan moving forward. I also want to give you hope in your first session and some practical first steps to take before ending our first session.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

With my background I have value for each individual client I see & want to build a positive & caring therapeutic relationship where you are safe to grow to your full potential & your specific unique goals. Building a caring relationship with you is one of my strengths. Additionally identifying root thoughts & beliefs about oneself to begin to heal, change & grow is something I have extensive experience in.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with both teens & adults in navigating life issues whether from their past or present. Whether it is trauma, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, or other topics, we can evaluate your thoughts & emotions to help you heal, grow, & move forward in your life. Life is incredibly hard & painful at times & so it is an honor to help you navigate the storms. I have multiple years of working in adoption/foster care, specifically working with minors who have been through trauma & other serious life issues. I additionally have worked for the state in helping those who have been through trauma. I have been trained in EMDR and Trauma Focused cognitive Behavioral Therapy. For the past few years I have been working in private practice walking with individual clients of all ages and backgrounds.
