Meet Leydi

With 10+ years as an LCSW, I offer a reliable, compassionate space for people in life’s hardest moments and as things begin to feel better. My style is flexible, empathetic, honest, and grounded in kindness, humanity, and humor. I listen deeply to each person’s past, present, and future, helping them recognize both spoken and overlooked needs. I work to ease anxiety, depression, and distress while honoring each client’s uniqueness. When something is beyond my scope, I am transparent and help connect clients with the support they need.

I listen deeply to each person’s past, present, and future, helping them recognize both spoken and overlooked needs.
