Great to meet you!

Welcome — I’m Leila! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and care. My work is centered around helping you reconnect with your strengths, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

With a background in clinical social work and twenty years of experience in both private practice and community mental health, I bring a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive lens to therapy. My approach is collaborative, I believe you are the expert on your life, and I’m here to support your process in a way that feels safe, affirming, and empowering. Whether you’re navigating a specific issue or seeking deeper self-understanding, our work together will be tailored to your unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is a space where you can be your full self — no judgment, just support. I offer a grounded, thoughtful presence and strive to create a warm, trusting environment where meaningful healing and growth can happen.
