Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Leah! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. My background includes working in crisis response, victim advocacy, and trauma-focused counseling. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard and empowered as we work toward your goals together.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to each person because no two healing journeys are the same. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), EMDR-informed interventions, mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques. Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools that support lasting growth.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore what's been most challenging, and discuss what you hope to gain from our work together. My priority is creating a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace while we begin building a plan that fits your unique needs and goals.
