About Leah

I love building relationships with my clients. I love listening to them share about their lives. I see the need before there is one, and always have a smile on my face with whatever my job is. I love helping people. I have taken care of my own aunt, mother in law and grandpa over the years as well as my clients as a mental health specialist. It is very rewarding! I enjoy the relationships I build with my clients. Learning about their lives and seeing how my work makes a difference in their lives. When I was working in mental health I was able to take one of my clients who was a sick homeless man off the streets by find him housing and a means to medical care so he could then support himself. It was very satisfying and wonderful to witness his improvements!

I grew up watching my parents taking care of my grand parents , I guess it comes naturally to me doing the same . Taking care of other gives you that inner satisfaction which is hard to find in other work settings. I'm proud to be a Nurse .
