About Leah

Leah My background is as an individual and couples therapist, as well as a professional organizer. I was drawn to counseling because I love working with people, and helping them overcome obstacles to access and live their true paths. After several years of counseling people within the traditional mental health system, I noticed that I was feeling frustrated and thwarted. The focus was primarily on the past, and what was “wrong” with someone. I was catching glimpses of the beauty, uniqueness and brilliance in my clients, but we weren’t fully able to explore these areas.

I also became aware that my clients needed help decluttering, simplifying, and organizing their lives. This pathway is not generally included in traditional counseling and therapy, yet is an integral part of viewing the “whole” person. My clients were struggling with how to do all that they wanted to do in a day, how to be fully present for those they love, how to care for themselves, how to create a home that didn’t overwhelm them with “stuff.” I wanted to help my clients manage all facets of their lives in a healthy and balanced way.

These dual passions came together to create Serene Spaces, a professional organizing and personal coaching business. Serene Spaces exists to help our clients declutter their lives and homes, become more organized, and live their true lives. The personal coaching aspect of Serene Spaces draws on my years of experience in social work and counseling, coupled with my master decluttering and organizing skills.

In addition to my busy work life, I am also a mother and wife. So, I am personally familiar with the life-long journey to find balance in an increasingly frenetic world. I know first-hand the challenges of trying to stay on my true path. I also know the satisfaction, happiness, and deep fulfillment of living my life “on purpose.”

My goal is to journey with my clients as they create lives that are more:

Simple
Authentic
Balanced
Organized
Serene

I hope that you will join me on this exciting journey.
