About

Hi, I’m Leia (yes, as in Princess Leia!). In 15 years of experience in the field of psychology, these are the themes that I hear that you're experiencing: You're over it. Feeling sad and heartbroken about what you've endured in life. You don't want to continue struggling to get through the day. Your nervous system feels like it's in survival mode to cope and it's affecting your relationships, self-worth, and work. It's time for that black cloud over your head to stop controlling you. Whether you're struggling with identity, sexuality, relational trauma, grief, anxiety, or burnout, you have options to grow beyond this quicksand keeping you stuck. I promise you that, with practice, you can become that Yoda-like guru who tackles life despite fear. We will do that through affirming, inclusive, and science-backed strategies, such as somatic experiencing, exposure therapy, and honing your values-based choices. There is no one-size-fits-all in being human, and we don't approach therapy that way.
