More about Leigh

I am a helper. I am grateful for the many roads that have lead me to where I am today. It hasn't been easy, but it's all been worth it. Helping others to grow and change so they may lead a healthier and happier life is my favorite part of my job. It feels good to feel good! 

I have been supporting families since 2006. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2010 with my bachelors degree in American Sign Language interpreting and early childhood education. I completed my masters in clinical mental health counseling at Concordia University Chicago in 2021. I am trained in play therapy, sand tray, polyvagal, and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).

I am skilled at building rapport and meeting my clients where they are. I use Jungian therapy, art, sand tray, and mindfulness with all clients to help them gain a better understanding and acceptance of themselves. I also use somatic techniques to aid in strengthening the mind - body connection. We all have the power to heal, and I am honored to be with you on this journey.

My clients are:

- adult individuals

- children ages 2 - 22

- families

- parents, guardians, caregivers, foster parents
