Welcome! I'm Leah! It's so nice to meet you. Congratulations on taking the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
In our first session we’ll start with brief introductions then dive into the challenges you’re facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. A strong therapeutic relationship is crucial for therapy to be successful, and it is my goal to create an environment where you feel accepted, cared for, and heard.
Having worked with individuals, couples, and families for the past 12 years, I’ve developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping my clients identify the root cause of their challenges and a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I enjoy working with individuals ages 16 and up. My clients are eager to improve but often don’t have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their day to day lives. I also work with clients who have gone through divorce, challenging traumas, and individuals who struggle with transitional life changes.

She was friendly and patient
I help clients change unhelpful and often irrational ways of thinking and behaving by learning new coping skills in an effort to reduce emotional distress and improve daily functioning. I help clients identify illogical, negative thoughts by replacing them with healthier, productive thoughts.
Mindfulness- Based therapy is a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), meditation, and the cultivation of a present-oriented, non-judgmental attitude called "mindfulness." Using mindfulness-based practices, I teach my clients how to adopt a non-judgmental attitude through guided meditation and deep breathing exercises.
Solution-Focused Therapy is a future-focused, goal-directed approproach that helps clients focus on solutions, rather than on the problems that brought them to seek therapy. Using this intervention, I help clients find exceptions to the problem at hand and instead focus on the here-and-now and solutions.
Using strength-based therapy, I help my clients focus on their internal strengths and resourcefulness, rather than on weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings.
