Hi there, I'm Leah!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker #117180. I work with people to develop coping skills, to heal trauma, and to heal childhood attachment wounds. My approaches are designed to help people with emotion-based mental health challenges and to help with recovery from the aftereffects of disturbing events. My office space is half-filled with plants.
My focus
I work with adults who want to learn to do things differently: get control of their emotions, figure out new ways to be in relationships with others, and stop letting irrational fears determine what they can and can't do. My methods are good for anxiety, depression, trauma, some forms of dissociation, and borderline traits.
My approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used to process disturbing or traumatic memories. Developmental Needs-Meeting Strategy to help heal childhood attachment wounds.
