I am a Licensed Professional Counselor & Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Georgia and a Licensed Mental Health Clinician in Florida. I've been a practicing Clinician for 25 years and I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking to overcome obstacles and challenges in life. I collaborate with clients assisting them to learn new skills to navigate difficult experiences. I help clients feel empowered to discover new patterns and solutions. My sessions provide a nonjudgemental space for all to express thoughts and feelings freely. Over the years I have developed an integrated style of theories in counseling, which include but is not limited to, CBT, Mindfulness, Trauma Focused, Solution Focused, Narrative, Acceptance & Commitment model, and Family Systems Theory. I offer online Telehealth appointments only. Please contact me today to schedule an appointment!
The initial session focuses on me gaining a better understanding of your needs and experiences. I obtain history, gather details of any symptoms, review family history, and assist you in setting goals. Grow sends email links for initial forms such as PH9, GAD7, and the intake form, which identifies your demographics, symptoms, and needs. I advise that since we are meeting over Telehealth, it is best to check devices to ensure the mic and camera is working in the portal before the appointment, and I also advise individuals to not drive or be in a public places during the session for confidentiality and safety reasons.
My strengths as a therapist include abilities to be authentic, relatable, present in the moment, and provide a calm & supportive space without judgment. I bring empathy, feedback, and structure to sessions, allowing me to support individuals while offering practical solutions and skills. I enjoy pinpointing diagnostic information so I can better equip clients in meeting their goals. I am also an empathetic listener meeting clients where they are. My motto is to "walk with you" in this journey. I also like to use humor in sessions because after all laughter is medicine.
I love working with adults, adolescents, and couples seeking tools to overcome challenges in life. I'm a therapist who provides a safe and inclusive place. I listen and validates your experiences while guiding you through new perspectives. I work well with clients who are seeking to gather tools to navigate their own lives. Some of my specialty areas include: mood management, codependency, grief, and trauma.

Lea has helped me open a bottomless box of tools I never knew I had or needed. From the start, she's been encouraging, supportive, attuned, and genuinely invested in my mental health journey. She actively engages in our discussions and compassionately guides me to confront issues head on while also helping me to develop personalized strategies to reach both short and long-term therapeutic goals. Lea’s truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking mental health support.
