Leah works with individual adults and teens contending with self-esteem issues, life transitions, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and attachment issues, boundary issues, identity exploration, loss and grief, and work-life balance issues. Leah provides trauma-informed talk therapy that draws from several modalities, including psychotherapy, mindfulness, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Systems Theory, DBT, IFS, and creative artistic expression. Leah’s approach is grounded in anti-oppression and cultural humility; we may have different backgrounds, but your experiences and beliefs will always be regarded with respect and dignity.
