Leah has a wonderful calm presence and helps me see things that are there but in a different perspective.

Leah is highly effective in understanding what my goals are and provides realistic and attainable advice for how to achieve those goals. Her ability to listen & communicate back what it is I’m in need of is what sets her apart from any other therapist I’ve had. Would highly recommend her.

More about Leah

  • 13 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LPCC

Each of us was reverently and wonderfully made! But over the course of life many of us have been wounded with injuries that eyes can't see--soul wounds. Those wounds may come from absent or unloving caregivers, bullying, abuse, trauma, neglect, hateful words, injuries or illness, substance abuse, lack of safety, abandonment, rejection, etc. There are many ways a person can be wounded. Those wounds don't just go away, and over time they cause problems in our behavior, thinking, feelings, relationships, families and workplaces. We wonder why this anxiety just won't go away, or why we've sabotaged yet another relationship. We get ugly with the people we love, or feel so out-of-control we don't know what to do. We have unexplained illness and ailments, and the treatments (physical and mental) seem never ending. Yes, these are all symptoms of soul wounds.

You are amazing because you have found incredible ways to cope with the difficult and even terrible circumstances you've faced in life! And the good news is that you don't have to live with those wounds forever. Hi. I'm Leah, and I would love to embark on a journey of healing with you. Together we will engage in creative and life-changing interventions, activities and encounters that will help you heal the wounds in your soul, and discover (or rediscover!) the unique and amazing purpose for which you were created! You were meant for so much more, and I would be honored to help you unlock your potential and finally live life to the fullest. I'm going to be honest with you, this is hard work; maybe the hardest work you've ever had to do, but in the end it will all be worth it. What are you waiting for? Let's get started!

I am a spiritually integrated therapist and adhere to the American Association of Christian Counseling Code of Ethics, which can be found here: https://www.aacc.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AACC-Code-of-Ethics-Master-Document.pdf

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Leah was just the right person to help me through some really painful past scars and learn how to forgive. Her gentle Christian counseling helped bring me back to a better relationship with God.

Really enjoy working with Leah! Sometimes I need someone to lean on outside of my life, she listens and I appreciate her input too! Helps me clear the clutter and work on the important stuff! She is a great guide and even notes my own communicated "to do" list after our visit. Also, I love the zoom meetings, saves so much travel time! The online journal is awesome too, I choose to share with Leah, so we can discuss. Great experience!

Leah guided me through a rough patch of life. She provided me with information and tools/exercises to help myself see and understand more clearly in which direction I wanted to go. And just listening to me and validating my emotions empowered me and reminded me that my story is real and important, too. Very grateful, thank you.

Leah is a woman after God’s own heart! Her exercises help me to take a deep look into my deep-rooted pain so that I can experience the fullness of healing. She leads me to be honest and communicative by showing that as her own example. I can see that she truly partners with the Lord as her exercises also encourage me to invite God into discovering my true identity. I would recommend her to anyone who is desiring to find freedom in the truth of their experiences- good and bad.
