About me and my approach
Hello there! My name is Leora (she/her) and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).
I work with clients to increase self-awareness, cultivate insight, and integrate long-lasting solutions for life’s challenges.
I approach the world with a sense of wonder and curiosity, and value each person’s unique perspective on the world.
Originally from Australia, I now live in the Bay Area and work with clients all over California. I graduated from the University of San Francisco’s Counseling Psychology program in 2017.
My approach focuses on relationships; with self, with others, and with the world we live in. I use an integrative approach, incorporating a range of techniques to individually tailor treatment for each person and setting.
