Where We’ve met Before
I’m glad you’re here. I’m Leah.
I’m a licensed professional counselor, EMDR therapist, and co-parenting mom of two. I specialize in EMDR therapy for moms because becoming a mom changes you. But that doesn’t have to be scary.
My clients are the ones who seemingly have it all together. They’re successful at work, they earn promotions and seem to have struck the elusive “balance” that so many working parents strive for. But on the inside, they often feel disconnected from their own goals, not to mention their own bodies, having been so focused for so long on the “should’s” and expectations of others.
And then there’s that nagging question about whether their own parents really “showed up” for them in the way that they yearn to be present for their kids.
These moms long for peace in their bodies, for more patience with their kids and partners, and for just a moment, to tune into themselves deeply, without being needed by anyone.
Can you relate? If so, you’re in the right place.
I teach women how to identify and listen to the needs of their bodies and brains so that they can have less stress and more ease in their daily lives.
Here’s how I can help.
-
EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy for trauma and anxiety can be beneficial in changing your relationship to difficult memories or experiences.

Therapy For Anxiety
Anxiety is an extremely common experience, especially in moms— especially in moms going through a pandemic. And for nearly two years, that’s all of us! Online therapy for anxiety can be helpful if you are struggling with adding one more thing to your already overwhelming “to do” list.
-
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy with a somatic (body-based) approach will help you gently reconnect to safety within your body so that you can feel less overwhelm and more ease. Who doesn’t want that?
-
Postpartum Therapy
Postpartum therapy can be hugely helpful either during pregnancy or within the first year after birth as you adjust to the many situational, hormonal, and relational changes that have taken place in your life.
-
Online Therapy
Working with a therapist online means you get the support you need from the comfort of your home or office. Because it’s just as effective as in-person sessions, online therapy is a great option for busy moms.

Not sure what you need?
Mom burnout is real. If you feel physically, emotionally, and mentally depleted but aren’t sure if therapy is right for you, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 10-minute call so I can connect you with the resources you need to feel more like yourself again!

“As a young female in my profession, working with Leah was a dream. We first met under temporary circumstances, but then through getting to know each other she encouraged me to apply for a position that at the time I didn't think I was fully qualified for. When we became coworkers, Leah's door was always open for me to seek both professional and personal advice. I attribute the boundaries I set in my professional life to my time spent working alongside her.”

EMDR therapy can help women to:
Reconnect with their bodies after sharing everything with everyone for so long
Regulate their nervous system responses so that they feel less edgy or shut down and more resilient and consistent
Easily set (and hold) boundaries that prioritize joy and physical wellbeing
Improve their relationship with anxiety so they’re not overwhelmed by it
Understand their emotional landscape so they snap less at their partners, kids, or family members
Find curiosity in situations that would have previously intimidated them
Calmly navigate difficult conversations with partners, ex-spouses, kids, and employers about their own needs and demands
Design a life that feels creative and flexible—without compromising dreams, goals, interests, or values
