People I work with come to me feeling stuck - second-guessing every decision, replaying conversations in their heads, or feeling like they’ve lost touch with the version of themselves they want to be. Sometimes it’s a big life change, sometimes it’s a quiet, constant heaviness, and sometimes it’s the grief of losing someone - human or animal - who meant everything. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that connection is one of the most powerful tools for healing. ...

At Leek Therapy, LLC, we believe that we all have a "True Compass" which represents our moral values, intuition, inner guidance, and our true authentic selves.

When we feel off-course, our compass needle will reorient and guide us back to our true selves. We can head east then west, accepting help from others along the way, and use our true compass to guide our journey to our...

I help clients navigate identity exploration, trauma, grief, relationship challenges (familial or intimate), and major life transitions—like adjusting to adulthood or stepping into a more authentic sense of self. These liminal, in-between stages can be tricky to navigate and are often marked by anxiety, depression, or a fragmented sense of self, leaving folks feeling emotionally untethered. While we must lead ourselves to authenticity, it can help to have a thoughtful, attuned guide who walks al...
