While my specialties are ADHD, ASD, anxiety and panic disorders, and parental support, I mainly just enjoy connecting with folks who have identified that therapy might be helpful for them. I like building relationships and getting to know people through the therapeutic lens. While I primarily use CBT, ACT, and DBT, I believe that a safe space wherein someone can be vulnerable and authentic is the strongest foundation for healing. My therapeutic demeanor is casual and warm, and I love nothing more than helping someone feel seen, heard, and like there's a path forward.
I specialize in ADHD, ASD, Anxiety and Panic Disorders, Life Transitions, Parental Support around mental health disorders and neurodivergence, including PDA, and Sex and Intimacy Issues. I welcome clients ranging from 13 years of age into adulthood and I am a neurodivergent- and PDA-affirming therapist (PDANA).
I am committed to creating safe, developed relationships with my clients. I believe that therapy is most successful when clients feel comfortable being exactly who they are and is meant to support each individual journey by building on a person’s existing strengths. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and sincere appreciation for each individual.

Warm, intuitive, and incredibly witty. Leah is highly attuned and responsive to the emotions of others, and I find her demeanor to be both soothing and grounding. I'd recommend Leah to anyone looking for a strengths-based approach to neurodiversity.
