Struggling with betrayal, broken trust, or constant fighting that's destroying your relationship. Perhaps infidelity has shattered your foundation, or you can't communicate without it turning into conflict. Possibly, at least, one of you is neurodiverse (ADHD/autism/AuHD), and traditional couples therapy never understood your unique dynamics. You want to rebuild trust, learn to hear each other, and create a stronger connection. You're committed to doing the work but need specialized guidance to heal and grow together.

I specialize in the stuff most people prefer to sweep under the rug; complex trauma, addiction, and unique mental health challenges. You know, the things that, if left unchecked, turn you into a flaming dumpster fire of a person. I also specialize in unique populations like polyamory and neurodivergent. Together, we’ll work through the darkness and find a way to make life suck a little less. Or, who knows, maybe even a lot less. Life’s chaotic, but we can still make progress while acknowledging that, sometimes, it’s a bit of a dumpster fire. The important part is that we start pulling you out of it.

Do you ever find yourself lying awake at night, replaying the day and already worrying about tomorrow? Your mind just won’t slow down— It can feel exhausting to be caught in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism, even when you’re giving so much of yourself. Maybe work feels like too much lately, your relationships feel harder to navigate, or you’re adjusting to the changes that come with pregnancy or postpartum life—trying to find your footing in a season that feels both beautiful and overwhelming. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what feels heavy, and reconnect with yourself.

Hi I'm Leigha! I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I love supporting queer and neurodivergent folks as they learn to feel more at home in their own skin. My goal is to help you feel empowered to navigate a world that doesn’t always understand or affirm your experience. Life can be unpredictable—sometimes it knocks us down with chaos or trauma, and other times it wears us out in quieter ways, leaving us feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck. Therapy can be a place to pause, catch your breath, and feel truly seen and understood.

The struggle to manage all of our roles can be intense. Trying to meet expectations, stay healthy, and manage the emotional burden of the past and can be exhausting and challenging every day. Our inner critic may determine our moods, and social media and social comparison can leave us feeling like we're just not enough. In addition, anxiety and depression often keep us stuck in fretting over the past, or worrying that we won't be able to keep it together in the future. When we realize that we need to address the worries or hurts that plague us, therapy can take a lot of the pressure off by healing old wounds and building self-worth.

I absolutely am passionate about encouraging others to make the time to nurture their mental well being and health, across all ages and populations. Adding the expressive and creative techniques I am trained in, accelerates growth and change by tapping into the right part of the brain and provides a fun and creative way to problem solve and engage with each other. The sand tray, storytellling, and expessive arts are for all ages and no talent needed, just an open mind. Traditional talk therapy is always an option and I meet each client where they are at for that session.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?

The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?

Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?

A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
