Therapy that is warm, collaborative, and compassionate.

Welcome to Good Care Therapy. I believe good care is holistic—it appreciates the nuance of the human experience and explores expansive approaches to well-being. Good therapy is connective, authentic, and rooted in radical compassion.

Hi, I’m Leah.

As a therapist, I show up with warmth, humor, and acceptance while supporting you to learn more about yourself in the world— what’s shaped you, how you connect with others, and what stands in the way of where you’d like to be.

I want you to feel safe to explore what brings you to therapy, and to feel understood as you develop new insights and tools to navigate life’s challenges.
