And rediscover that beautiful, strong, intuitive, empowered, curious, and unstoppable YOU!
Slowing down, finding balance, making heartfelt connections, and learning skills and strategies to reduce stress and anxiety are truly life-saving (and life-giving) practices. After nearly two decades walking beside clients through life’s challenging and triumphant moments, Leif has developed an approach she calls “transformational coaching” that is really.. well.. different.
Weaving together her extensive training and experience in depth and humanistic psychology, expressive arts, somatic or embodied awareness, mindfulness, systems and attachment theory, and holistic wellness, Leif gracefully combines centuries old practices with cutting-edge science, crafting effective, powerful, and engaging experiences for her clients.

Why Leif
Leif's 25+ years of clinical practice working at the intersection of physical and mental health as a sought-after complex case mental health diagnostician has given her a unique skill set that puts her in an ideal position to help clients interested in deeply transformational WHOLE BEING CHANGE.
The thing is, trauma happens to all of us. Nowadays just trying to survive the stressors of daily life is traumatic - not to mention all the other traumas (big and little) we may have experienced along the way. Trauma impacts EVERY SYSTEM in our beings. Even after years of talk therapy our bodies can still store the vestiges of our traumas. We move, talk, walk, think, feel, and relate in ways influenced by this unconscious patterning.
Leif's nuanced understanding of the complicated network of systems impacted by trauma coupled with her understanding of somatic, mindfulness, and experiential approaches gives her a highly specialized niche. Combining her extensive experience as a licensed therapist with her equally extensive experience as an educator, coach, and organizational development consultant, Leif has created a supercharged approach to learning, growth, and change that truly is life-changing.
And, along with all of that, Leif brings her insatiable curiosity, humor, and her open-hearted, straightforward way of being to every interaction. Clients report that although working with Leif is hard work, it is great fun too!

What People Are Saying
"Some words I use to describe my colleague and friend of nearly 30 years: Passionate, driven, always ethical, razor sharp clinically, intuitive and humanistic."
"Leif, I can't thank you enough for verbalizing the feelings I have, because I don't always find the words/understand "what" I'm feeling until you say it. You "see" me, love on both of us, and are so unbiased. Thank you for being a safe place for B and I to turn into together. Tanda says you are like a magical unicorn, now I'm thinking you might have some wings! :-)"
"My husband and I were looking to strengthen our 39 year marriage. After the very first coaching session I knew we were in the right hands. Leif is wildly intuitive, compassionate and amazingly skilled at reading people and at guiding them to find the answers within themselves. We not only made great improvements within ourselves but those changes transferred to our marriage. The tools Leif has given us are invaluable. I am forever grateful to have the opportunity to learn through Leif’s coaching."
"Leif's counsel has been instrumental in helping me move from frozen and detached to flexible, curious and engaged in my life. I've worked with a few therapists over the years and had good experiences, but I arrived at Leif feeling like there was a layer I just never could get under. Leif's ability to connect with care and empathy, and her ability to lead me back to my deep self has been life-changing. Finding important parts of myself I'd let go of decades ago has been one of many gifts my sessions have brought. Just showing up ready to dive in with her was all I needed to find light under the most challenging old layers. Leif is the real deal."
