Leah's Journey
With over a decade of military service, including deployments to Kuwait, Iraq, Germany, and Japan, Leah brings a deep, firsthand understanding of the psychological impact of trauma, high-stress environments, and life-threatening situations. During her time in the military, she also worked in mental health support roles, providing care and guidance to fellow service members navigating the emotional toll of combat and military life.
Leah’s diverse experiences have shaped a trauma-informed, empathetic approach to therapy. She specializes in helping individuals who have faced significant hardships—whether related to military service, personal loss, or other life challenges—navigate their path toward healing and resilience.
Passionate about empowering others, Leah is committed to providing evidence-based tools and strategies that foster growth, restore wellbeing, and support lasting transformation. Her work is grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity to heal and thrive, and she is honored to walk alongside clients as they move toward greater wholeness.
About Awakening Hypnotherapy
At Awakening Hypnotherapy, we believe that healing is holistic. We differ from traditional models that focus on addressing one aspect of a person’s health at a time. We know that the most effective way to establish enduring well-being is to honor each person as a dynamic and holistic being composed of mind, body, and spirit. Because we regard each as essential to health, Awakening Hypnotherapy offers services that support minds, bodies, and spirits.
