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.
