Leah specializes in supporting individuals as they navigate a range of challenges related to neurodivergence, anxiety disorders, gender and identity exploration, developmental trauma, attachment wounds, life transitions, and relational difficulties. Leah utilizes a blend of evidenced-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based techniques, strengths-based approaches, and trauma-informed therapy, to help clients find greater self-understanding, build healthier connections, and make empowered choices in their lives. She draws from a psychodynamic framework to help clients explore how their past experiences and unconscious patterns influence their current emotions, relationships, and behaviors.

​
