If you are looking for someone to help you sort through an issue or situation, I have been accompanying people on their personal journeys for 15 years. I believe deeply that part of how we navigate life is by being seen and heard well. Whether you are going through a transition personally or professionally, wanting some insight into a situation or feeling, and/or facing an obstacle to growth, we can work together to bring some sense of resolution to your immediate issue. As Therapist (I am also a Certified Life Coach), I work in Shorter Term Solution Focused ways to accompany you in the next step of being your best Self. I have MA in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and a BA in Psychology from Wheaton College. I am also a Certified Life Coach.

I'm licensed in AZ , ID, and WA. I expect that the work we do in session will translate into your everyday life outside of session. I hold my clients with high regard and expect them to do the work toward recovery. Those who I accept as my clients have a strong desire to get themselves together will do great work toward recovery. The the goal is short term care for long term gain.

My interest in mental health began during my military service as a Survival Instructor in the United States Airforce. During this time, I had the privilege of teaching students from all walks of life the skills to survive in any environment. I became fascinated with human behavior, stress management/responses and the profound capabilities of the mind, body and spirit when faced with adversity. While navigating through the wilderness, a waypoint is defined as "a stop along ones journey." It is a safe place where the traveler can take shelter, rest, gain insight on where they've been, accept and honor where they are, and determine their way forward. It's a place for healing. This is what I strive to provide for my clients. I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Northwestern University. I have experience counseling couples, teens, adult individuals, and groups. As an Airforce veteran, I have a passion for serving military members and their families. Other interests include working with blended families, and LGBTQ+ individuals and their parents

Perhaps you’ve been searching online and recognize yourself in terms like PTSD, OCD, or anxiety—and now you’re wondering, what next? That’s where I come in. My role is to help you make sense of your experiences, clarify what you’re going through, and support you in moving forward in ways that strengthen your relationships, improve your work life, and enhance your overall sense of balance and self-care. Together, we’ll focus on practical tools and deeper insight, so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in charge of your own healing.

Many of my clients grew up in families affected by abuse, addiction, emotional neglect, or divorce. Unresolved family-of-origin dynamics can quietly shape how we respond to stress, conflict, and intimacy. Even as high-functioning adults, early emotional wounds often lead to shame, self-sabotage, and strained relationships.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping people uncover and shift these long-standing patterns. My approach blends Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) with other evidence-based treatments to promote healing, emotional resilience, and lasting change. CFT helps clients move away from harsh self-criticism and toward greater self-understanding and self-kindness.

¡Hola! I'm Leidy, a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist. I work with adults navigating major life transitions, grief and loss, fertility issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, family transitions and more. Many of the people I work with are in the middle of something big, whether that's a loss, a shift in their family, a fertility journey, or simply a season of life that feels heavier than expected, and they're looking for a space where they can finally exhale.

I'm originally from the Dominican Republic, and Spanish is my first language. As an immigrant myself, I understand what it's like to navigate multiple worlds, identities, and expectations. I'm also the proud parent of a son with autism, so I know firsthand what it's like to walk through major life transitions, advocate for your family, and find strength you didn't know you had. These experiences shape the way I show up for my clients every day.

My background is rooted in community work. I spent years in non-profit organizations supporting diverse communities, and that experience taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, honoring their culture, language, strengths, and identities. I believe in creating individualized treatment plans that reflect the whole of who you are.
