Leigh (she/they) approaches therapy with humility, authenticity and playfulness, seeing the relationship between therapist and client as foundational. A believer in the value of politicized healing, she often engages clients in exploring the way oppression informs one’s sense of self and the potential for safety, embodiment and connection. Leigh is acutely aware of the impact of systemic violence on both marginalized communities and those who hold power, recognizing that human responses to such conditions are often pathologized within dominant culture.
Leigh graduated with her Masters of Social Work from Highlands University and particularly enjoys supporting others in exploring identity, history, and culture to deepen self-knowledge and connect with personal values. They bring a deep curiosity to therapy, empowering clients to share (and often re-author) their stories, knowing that being seen and validated by others is necessary for change. Leigh incorporates frameworks including feminist theory, HAES, Motivational Interviewing, narrative therapy, DBT, trauma therapy, attachment and nervous system regulation psychoeducation into their work.
