I’m Leigh and I help broken women and adolescents regain their power.

I have a passion for helping women and adolescents who are feeling angry, lost, alone, and frantic become calm, confident, and capable. I can relate. I have been there. I want to help. I believe in therapy because I have been where you are and it has brought me healing and clarity. I want to help you experience growth, lasting change, and be able to trust yourself.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in psychiatric hospital settings, ERs, inpatient substance abuse treatment, medical social work, and counseling with individuals and families.

Asking for help is a courageous, wonderful, and vulnerable thing to do. Let’s get started.

I am a therapist with specialized training in substance use and trauma-focused counseling. Getting to help you explore what you’ve been trying to escape from or numb yourself from with dependence on substances, alcohol, or harmful relationships is my wheelhouse. Together, we will help you gain insight into yourself and your past without fear, and start you on a path where you can finally be comfortable in your own skin and identity. Seeing a client go from being lost and alone to grounded and hopeful is why I became a therapist in the first place.

I enjoy working with men, women, and teens who are dealing with: Toxic relationships / Traumatic experiences/ Trauma/ Family estrangement / high-risk behaviors / Adjusting to "adulting"/ Experimenting with substances / Exploring the past in order to “move on” / College and Graduation transitions

Maybe you feel lost, unsure of who you are, or stuck…in survival…on repeat. Perhaps you’re longing for deeper connection with others and yourself, better boundaries (or any boundaries) and a knowing that you deserve more peace and balance, more consistent joy and happiness, a greater sense of confidence and clarity about who you are and what you want. Maybe you want to develop a greater capacity to deal with what life brings.

I can relate — I’ve been there also. I have skills and experience in helping you connect (again or for the first time) with yourself and your full capacity, internal strength, passions, and the vision you have for your life. 

 I have decades of experience working with families, children, and adults in various capacities. In a therapeutic role, I particularly enjoy working with both young adults and those rooted firmly in “midlife” looking to connect/reconnect with themselves to unlock the healing, change and empowerment necessary to create the life and relationships they long for. I often utilize an Internal Family Systems approach along with a focus on mindfulness and self-compassion to support that.

Hi there! I am so glad you are here. I enjoy and have extensive history working with people ages 15 and up, men and women.

 I know it can be intimidating and overwhelming to reach out for help, but let me assure you that you're not alone. 

You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, or may not even be sure why you are here but know you need to be. I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, grief, secondary trauma from the workplace or institutions, substance abuse, impulse control, anger issues and so much more.

 It would be my honor to walk along side you and help you navigate how to heal from the unspeakable pain you’ve been carrying Together we would create a supportive, non-judgmental, safe space for you to explore your emotions and work towards your goals. You are not alone on this journey. 

My hope is to meet you with warmth and empathy as you take steps toward growth and healing. You’re so brave for seeking therapy and I’m honored to support you every step of the way.

I believe every person has the innate resilience, strength, and the capacity for meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, feeling stuck in unhelpful habits, or managing stress, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. I’m here to listen, offer insights, share practical tools, and gently encourage positive growth.

I work with adolescents (15+) and adult men and women facing a variety of challenges, including addiction and recovery, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, managing work- and school-related stress, improving communication in relationships, and other coping strategies that no longer serve them. Together, we will engage in self-exploration, clarify your values, and work toward meaningful goals to support your psychological well-being and personal growth.

My holistic, trauma-informed approach addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of wellbeing. I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to tailor treatment to your unique needs. By recognizing that our stories are not fixed, we’ll collaborate to develop a new narrative that honors your individual journey and supports your personal goals.

You made it here — and that says a lot. Whether you’re feeling brave, broken, or somewhere in between — I see you, and I’m proud of you.

As a therapist, I believe healing isn’t about finding balance — it’s about finding your rhythm again. Life moves in seasons, and some are heavier than others. My heart is to help women reconnect with themselves during those complex, tender moments when everything feels uncertain, overwhelming, or out of sync.

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with over three years of experience walking alongside women through a wide range of life transitions. I’ve supported mothers navigating postpartum and NICU journeys, as well as college-aged women facing identity shifts, anxiety, and grief. Still, my passion is not tied to one stage or label. I work with all women, in all seasons and together we will create a safe place for you to land. 

During our time, you don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to shrink, perform, or pretend. This is a space where you can breathe, be honest, and begin to feel again — all at your own pace. I create an atmosphere of grace where your story is honored, your emotions are welcome, your goals are heard, and your healing is never rushed.

If you’re carrying more than you can name, you don’t have to carry it alone. I’d be honored to walk with you.
