Hi! My name is Leifennie (she/her). It is pronounced as /’lāfənē/.
I strive to embody a compassionate, supportive, curious, non-judgmental, culturally and trauma-responsive loving presence in order to co-create a safe container for our work together. I believe we are all interconnected with everything and everyone. We are born in relationship, live in relationship, suffer in relationship, and are transformed in relationship. My intention is to facilitate you to develop the awareness and capacity to be intentional and consistent in making the series of choices to cultivate a loving and compassionate relationship with yourself and others.
My therapeutic style focuses on equipping you with the skills to feel anchored in your own capability to self-lead so you can increase your capacity to connect with the different parts of you. To achieve this, I integrate and draw from various therapeutic modalities such as mindfulness-based therapy, somatic therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I aim to maintain an affirming, inclusive, and supportive practice that embraces people of all genders, sexual orientations, neurodiversity, backgrounds, ethnicities, and religious beliefs. I deeply respect and honor your intersectionality.
