Are you a stressed mama?! An anxious teen? Parent of an angry adolescent? A successful, independent woman struggling with relationships? Sometimes we become overwhelmed by life. Whether you are a parent, child, sibling, spouse, or partner, navigating stresses and relationships are an essential part of everyday life. Sometimes, we become so caught up in our own personal bubble that we need an outside perspective to help us see what is happening in order to gain clarity or bring about change within our lives.
As a married mother of two, Leah is passionate about working with women (especially other moms), young adults, and couples struggling to be at peace with themselves, relationships, or life stresses. She has experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, trauma, and behavior. She is trained in TF-CBT and EMDR.
Leah is dually licensed as an Independent Licensed Psychological Examiner (LPE-I) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). She is certified as a PMH-C (perinatal mental health). She received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Arkansas in 2007 and a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of Central Arkansas in 2011.
