Hello, my name is Leanora! Please call me “Lea.” I would like to ask you two questions, “Are you sick-n-tired of being sick-n-tired?” “Are you ready to make positive change? Let me help you take a journey and explore what is preventing you from moving forward. Please know that I am non-judgmental, reliable, compassionate, and committed to my clients.

I am a Resident in Counseling focused on working with children, adolescents and adults. I believe that healing through life's stressors is not a straight path, and my role as your therapist is to guide you through those difficult times. My outlook for your process is that this is a positive healing journey, where you are heard and understood. My passion for working with Veterans stems from my unique perspective as a Military spouse for over ten years.
