Feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or the many transitions of life? Struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, or coping with chronic illness?

Hello I am Leigh Ann. I know therapy can be an intimidating journey to begin, In my practice I want to create a space where you can come and talk about your stressors and feel you can be yourself. I received my MSW from the University of Southern California and then went on to pursue my full licensure as a LCSW. I focus on a collaborative process where you feel supported in your growth. In my practice I enjoy working with those that have experienced trauma and will take a trauma informed approach in our work together. I enjoy working with families that are experiencing internal stressors and individuals who are experiencing life changes, depression and anxiety in life. I also enjoy practicing from a Christian platform and will incorporate Christian therapy when requested by a client.
