My mission as a psychotherapist is to assist individuals in developing satisfying and rewarding lives by working through past trauma, exploring negative thinking patterns, and implementing positive coping skills. I focus on the present with understanding that past thoughts & old behaviors can impact our current way of living. My belief is to work with each client as an individual and approach our work from not only a perspective of strength, but from a client centered and humanistic viewpoint. In other words, I believe the relationship between the therapist and client is equal and collaborative.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session together I will answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. The focus of this session will be for you to share you story and express what has led you to seek out therapy at this time. Your individual characteristics, preferences, needs, abilities and beliefs are taken into consideration while we work together in creating a plan that makes sense for where you are presently in life. This is your time to discover and explore in a safe space.

Leni is truly a gift to humanity. Her humor is appropriate, clever, and thought provoking. Leni cares about people, not just because it's her job to do so, but because it's her passion. I am most grateful for her help, and support during a difficult period in my life.
