Before changing careers, Leona worked for 30 years at IBM in Arizona and Colorado. Helping people to improve their lives, focusing on strengths while traveling through pain and transitions of life is what she has been growing into through a lifetime of experience. She uses an approach that focuses on the client, their strengths, and resources. The whole person – mind, body, spirit and heart – is addressed, and through the journey, change and growth are initiated using various therapeutic models such as solution-focused, psychodynamic, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral and rational emotive behavior with the goal of a realized transformation.
