Hi, I’m Leda.
I’m a therapist in training, with a lifetime of experience. I’m here to help you find your way to more joy, ease and fulfillment.
It’s time to Go Cognito
Cognito: The Opposite of Incognito
To “Go Cognito” is to make the unconscious conscious. It’s the process of learning to sit with your pain and transform your relationship to it. It’s when the part of you that’s been yearning to be seen finally steps out of hiding. Going Cognito is about healing from your past so your future can unfold with greater ease and freedom.
Schedule a time to meet and take the next step toward the life you want.
About My Approach
I offer coaching services tailored to help you navigate life’s challenges, uncover your authentic self, and create meaningful, lasting change. With a foundation in Buddhist psychology, existential theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), parts work, and somatic techniques like breathwork, I bring a holistic and personalized approach to your journey of self-discovery and growth.
I integrate imagination and creativity as tools for self-discovery and problem-solving, rooted in neuroscience, which shows how creative processes activate new neural pathways, foster emotional regulation, and enhance resilience.
As a graduate-level trainee in an LMFT program, I integrate cutting-edge insights from neuroscience, attachment theory, and trauma-informed practices into my coaching, empowering you to reconnect with your inner resources, build resilience, and design a life aligned with your values and purpose.
Please note that my coaching services are distinct from therapy and do not involve diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. Coaching focuses on achieving goals and improving specific areas of your life, such as relationships, career transitions, or personal wellness. While my therapeutic training informs my approach, all coaching sessions are goal-oriented and non-clinical. If you’re ready to take proactive steps toward a more fulfilling life, I’d love to support you on your journey.
I believe there’s always a way to find more joy, more gratitude, more ease. No matter our circumstances, we can find a way to live that feels good, or at least better. We can overcome adversity, heal from big and little traumas, and develop new neuropathways. It takes work—sometimes a lot—but it’s possible. I’m a work in progress, the same as you, but I’ve made significant changes and want to help you change too.
