Welcome!

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and certified Relational Life Therapist, specializing in working with couples looking for lasting change. I have completed extensive training with renowned global author, relationship expert and founder of Relational Life Therapy, Terry Real, who's groundbreaking approach is designed to transform relationships and create lasting change quickly. I prefer to work with couples intensively for 2 days & am happy to refer them after that to a regular therapist for ongoing work, if needed (sometimes it isn't) or continue working with them myself twice per month if I have availability. 

Each couple will leave our work with a 'relationship diagnosis' specific to the patterns and repetitive loops that are causing disconnection, along with a specific plan that they can begin to implement immediately. Part of this includes some deeper work with each of you in the presence of the other, to understand and help overcome the entrenched emotions and responses that show up time and time again, so that we are able to replace them with something that works better for both of you. I want to point you towards deep and lasting transformation rather than skills that don't stick.

I have high hopes for the couples I work with, but no personal agenda. I am respectful of each individual’s boundaries & autonomy. I never tell couples what to do but use my relationship diagnosis to support them to make those choices intentionally, not reactively. 

Please message me a free consultation, I would love to learn about your goals & help you reach them.

About Leanne 

"I grew up in the UK and Cyprus and emigrated to the USA in my 30s. I love both the UK and USA equally and consider both of them home.  I began my career in the tech industry where I discovered my passion for organizational psychology and team profiling, which I feel really paved the way towards the work I do today within the couple 'system' and 'family system'. 

Working with clients is an enormous honor and seeing them grow and reconnect in their relationships is truly one of the most rewarding parts of my life. My work is second only to my proudest role as a parent to my two adult children. When I am not spending time with them or walking my three dogs in the beautiful Texas hill country, I really am a homebody. I am never happier than when I am pottering around at home, reading, relaxing, cooking, creating art or finding the perfect spot for a new thrift store treasure".
