Leah has taught me so much about acceptance, self love, and understanding mental frameworks I've built within myself within only the first few sessions. I look forward to my weekly meetings with her, and bonding with her over our similar interests on spirituality and professions in psychology. I use tools she's taught me every day, and am making huge gains in the direction I desired when starting. I highly recommend her and her unique skill with connecting to your higher self and building self love and trust.

Leah is a VERY personable therapist. She reads my mood and adapts to my concerns and overarching need patterns with the kind of subtlety and touch that only comes with experience. She's made miles of difference in such a short time for me and I'd recommend her to anyone.

I’ve done a lot of counseling sessions throughout my life and I have never felt like I did with Leah, and it was only my first session! She understood me and she doesn’t just listen/provide tools. Her method of Counseling provides action to really help you for the long run. She’s extremely knowledgeable and I can’t wait to dive in deeper on our future session! Highly recommend!

Leah is amazing and is very easy to talk to. She gets me and I feel a huge amount of pain lifted whenever I speak to her. I still have a lot of work to do for my recovery and I’m hopeful to see my journey through with Leah. Thank you.

She is super easy to talk to and comforting. She makes you look at things in a different perspective and get your thoughts on a more realistic point of view.

I absolutely loved my sessions with Leah! After talking to her about my practice of meditation and yoga she offered heart centred hypnotherapy to me. I had never heard of it before but after Leah explained it to me I was so excited to try it. After each session I felt amazing, like a weight had been lifted off my shoulder. I could not recommend Leah enough!

Leah is very kind, but firm. She is supportive and at the same time, tells me things I don't want to hear. I appreciate it, though, as a therapist should not just be a sounding board, but make you see and deal with hard truths about yourself. Therapy is painful and slow, but healing as well.

“Life is an experience that is full of unplanned, unexpected events that can be difficult to deal with- but it is all surmountable! I truly believe that once we are able to clear away some of the ego, our inner voice/higher self can be heard–and if we choose to listen, that is when incredible shifts in life begin! Shifts that lead to our best selves!”
