More about Leah
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I'm a therapist with two decades of experience supporting individuals, children, and families through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma, bringing both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to our work together.
I'm particularly skilled at helping people understand how their past experiences shape their present relationships and emotional well-being. I help people find and draw from their natural capacity for resilience. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns at your own pace.
I use a combination of psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework in my approach to counseling. I tailor our work together to your individual needs and goals.
I believe we all deserve to feel fully seen, heard, and supported in our lives. I look forward to supporting you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
