Leah is a great listener and always has a way of making me think differently about whatever I’m going though..

She was absolutely the best person I've ever gotten the chance to talk about my personal feelings towards. She let me speak for however long I needed to about whatever issues I had, and really made me think deeper into situations. As well as taught me skills I will use for the rest of my life.

Working with Leah is very eye opening. I feel like we have conversation and she will point something out or reword what I said and it’s like “bam” I see it in a different light. I really like her approach.
