Leah has over seven years experience working with adults, adolescents, children and their families in outpatient and school based settings. Her style is approachable, empathetic, and warm. She strives to create a safe space for others to share their stories, increase self awareness, and develop skills to reach their goals.

Prior to pursuing a career in social work, Leah worked in early childhood education where she gained useful knowledge and experience in childhood development and attachment. While she enjoys working with people of all ages, Leah has a particular interest in working with adolescents and young adults.

Leah is psychodynamically trained and incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed interventions in her work. She believes in altering her approach to the individual and meeting people where they are at.

Leah earned her Bachelor's degree at Smith College and Masters of Social Work (MSW) at Smith College School for Social Work.
