Hi! I’m Leia!
““I like to think of myself as your collaborative partner as you get to know yourself both respectfully and empathetically. My approach seeks wellness, as defined by you, at your own pace and with your goals of exploration top of mind. I enjoy creating a telehealth atmosphere that feels safe, valuable, and a sanctuary in the world we are currently living in. Let’s be deliberate, let’s be unafraid, and let’s be truly authentic.””

Individual Therapy
My individual sessions are never fixed while taking into consideration past session sharing, ruminating thoughts, opportunities in the horizons, celebrations and wherever else my client wants to take the session to. Opportunities for challenging or probing ruminating thoughts are my greatest tools as my Rumination-Focused CBT skills guide our talk therapy sessions in a narrative aware direction. I often end with a prompt or theme for the session with a call to action unique to every client and each session.
Sessions start at $125
Gender Expansive Therapy
As a transgender woman, I never shy away from advocacy in LGBTQ+ affirming spaces and therefore the one I create for myself and my clients is a special one. I like to view my approach to gender as not only affirming but expansive as my clients view their identity as fixed in some ways but fluid in others. As an AASECT scholarship recipient in the past, I've learned there are so many layers to gender, sex, expression, and sexuality that these sessions are for clients willing to look at themselves through a new light and embrace a new shadow.
Sessions start at $125
Couples Therapy
My approach to couple's counseling focuses on establishing values, uncovering parallels, and really redefining expectations my clients have for each other and themselves. My approach, similar to an individual session, calls out ruminating thoughts that may get lost in the shuffle of life's demands while seeking out renewed closeness. My work with couples exceeds traditional duos and incorporates an understanding of poly/non-traditional pairings in a judgement free space.
Sessions start at $160
