At the end of our sessions, I hope you leave my office feeling replenished and prepared to face what life throws at you.

Hi, I'm Leah, and my passion is partnering with people on their journey towards more fulfilling and meaningful lives. As a clinician who has been working with people for almost 15 years, I have found that through authenticity, radical honesty, and a sprinkling of humor, humans can get through some of the most unimaginably difficult experiences. Navigating life as a queer, fat, woman has given me some unique insights into the importance of self-advocacy, creativity, and dismantling societal and familial pressures that keep people from feeling whole.

You wake up and dread getting out of bed because then you have to go to a job that you can’t stand. You count down the minutes until 5 only to go home and spend your free time picking up after your partner/dogs/kids. You feel resentful and frustrated and your deepest fear is that you’ll always be stuck taking care of everyone else but yourself. You feel like you have nothing of your own—you're simply an employee, partner, or mom. But there’s so much more to you than that!

Seeking help is a major step toward personal growth. Wherever you may be in your journey, I will meet you there and provide a supportive and non-judgmental space. Let’s work together to gain insight and make the changes that will help you live more authentically.

You might be struggling with an eating disorder or body image, anxiety, chronic illness, or trauma. Or you may be dealing with relationship concerns even if you're currently in couples counseling or have tried it before. You may also be a mental health provider seeking therapy for yourself. Working through any of these concerns can be overwhelming and feel impossible to manage alone. I aim to meet you where you're at and work as your partner to build coping skills, meaningful connections to yourself & others, and ultimately a life that you fully enjoy living.

I believe that people are resilient and innately possess everything they need to accomplish their goals. Through our counseling relationship I will encourage you to become self aware, take responsibility for current thought processes and behavior patterns that may have a negative effect on your life, and commit to transformation. That may read like a strong statement but know that I will be with you the entirety of the journey. In our work we will uncover past traumas, confront negative thoughts and behavior patterns, and create plans to reach your goals.

You learned that to get through life, you must be perfect, “proper,” and stay invisible. But operating down this path comes at a cost: overwhelming pressure, self-hatred, and feeling like an imposter in your skin. Belonging has never been easy for me, especially as a child of Asian immigrant parents. The pressure to be "enough" for others or to offset the guilt I felt for all the sacrifices my parents made to succeed in the United States has contributed to my resilience and anxious attempts to hide my imperfections. So, this is an invitation to those who want permission to mess up, be imperfect, and recover from unmet needs.

We give so much of ourselves to our jobs, families, friends and more that we often lose ourselves and focus on the daily struggle of just surviving. Becoming overwhelmed or feeling anxious, depressed, scared or even angry, may stop you from reaching your full potential. We believe that the value of your health goes beyond just your physical health. We have a passion for helping others to find their voice, passion, and to create a healthier reality than their present state. We provide Teletherapy & Coaching services. Therapy services are provided by a Four Therapists & Coaching services by Drs. Watkins, Elbert & Blumell.

The folks I work with are those who are struggling with feeling connected to themselves and others. Often my clients have difficulty being in the present moment, instead finding themselves lost inside their mind, imagination, or in the past or future. There's often a deep longing to be connected to others but feel as if there's something in the way. Sometimes my clients feel usure of or inconsistent in who they are, uncertain of what they want and have struggled to find happiness and contentment in life. For my clients, life can often feel blurry or fuzzy with difficulty remembering the recent or distant past.

We live in stressful, changing, disconnected times. People are feeling exhausted, lonely, powerless and isolated. Many are filled with negative self talk. I help people realize what has kept them stuck and unfulfilled. Together we will develop a plan to remove those barriers so they can become the person they were intended to be; that they WANT to be. If you are tired of promising yourself that tomorrow will be different, let's begin your journey now. As Ernest Hemingway said, " Today is the only day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come will depend on what you do today."

Therapy is a collaborative process grounded in a working and trusting relationship where both client and therapist engage towards building understanding and movement. I strive to create a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore your issues and increase your well-being while identifying life context that contribute to the challenges you face. We will work to apply contextual aspects, including identities, culture, and community alignments, to illuminate both challenges and potential aspects of resolution.

It is my top priority to offer a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment for every client I serve. I provide a strengths-based, non-judgmental approach which will allow us to explore challenges together. I focus on assisting individuals navigating difficulties related to life adjustments and transitions, grief and loss, interpersonal issues, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I also work alongside couples and adult families in order to help resolve dysfunction and improve communication.

I help overthinkers, perfectionists, and women with imposter syndrome to feel less weighed down by their thoughts, and more free to live a fulfilling life. Clients who come to me are often overwhelmed with pressure to get things perfect and struggle with feeling “enough.” They often prioritize everyone else’s needs over their own and are left feeling emotionally and physically exhausted. They feel like everyone else has it “figured out”, and they want that too. My clients are ready to create change in their lives and feel more peace of mind.
