Hi, I'm Leah

I'm a psychodynamic therapist with a passion for the deep work.

I'm certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Critical Memory Integration, and I'm a Certified Brain Health Professional through Amen Clinics. I also work with couples using the Gottman Method.

I work with people who are tired of staying on the surface — who want to know why they keep showing up the same way, and who are ready to do something about it.

Who I Work With

Real people, real life.

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Here's where I tend to show up best.

Complex Trauma

For the person whose past keeps bleeding into the present. We do bottom-up work to clear the charge — not just talk around it.

Couples in the Weeds

Roommate syndrome, recurring fights, betrayal, or just distance. We use Gottman to repair friendship and rebuild trust.

The Faith Deconstructor

For people working through religious trauma, faith transitions, or "dark night of the soul" seasons. Honest, no-judgment depth work.

Stuck-After-Therapy

You've tried talk therapy and gotten somewhere — but not all the way. Time to look at the brain, the body, and the shadow.

Parents Breaking Cycles

Generational patterns end where someone decides they end. We work on staying regulated when your kid isn't.

Therapists Who Need a Therapist

Vessel Healing — a clinical sanctuary where you can drop the mask. Peer-to-peer, no clinical-downshifting required.

How We Work

Evidence-based therapies. Rapid, lasting results.

These are the heavy lifters of the work I do. Each one earns its place.

Critical Memory Integration

Neurobiologically-informed work for the stuck memories that fuel core negative beliefs.
