Somewhere in the Messy Middle
Maybe you've spent years understanding yourself, your relationships, or the world around you in a certain way. And lately, some of it doesn't make quite as much sense.
Maybe something has shifted. A relationship, a role you've always played, or the life you thought you'd be living.
Sometimes you choose the change. Other times, life has other plans.
Or maybe you've always felt a little different. Felt things deeply, asked questions, or carried experiences that weren't always understood or met in the ways you needed.
Perhaps you've spent your life moving between two worlds.
One where family, culture, and familiar ways of being feel like home, and another that moves to a different rhythm and asks different things of you. Both are part of your life, even when they don't always fit neatly together.
There's room for all of it here. The things you're ready to change, the things you're still figuring out, and the parts of yourself you're getting to know along the way.
These are some of the experiences clients have brought into our work together. And there's room for yours, too.
A few places we can begin
Different experiences. Different starting points. Room to explore what matters to you.
When Relationships Get Complicated
You can love someone and still have complicated feelings about your relationship. Family expectations, setting boundaries, and familiar relationship patterns can bring up a lot of questions. We can explore those questions together.
All Those
What-Ifs
Replaying conversations, imagining every possible outcome, or worrying about someone's reaction? Whether it's anxiety, self-doubt, or a mind that rarely slows down, we can explore those familiar patterns and make room for a little more clarity and self-trust.
Identity, Culture
& Life Transitions
Family, culture, and life experiences shape so much of who we are. Navigating cultural identity, family expectations, or a new chapter in life can bring up questions about what still fits, what we want to carry forward, and what we'd like to do differently.
For the Deep Feelers
You feel things deeply, notice the little shifts in people's moods, and often understand what others are going through. Sometimes, though, it's harder to make room for your own feelings. We can explore your emotional experiences, how empathy shapes your relationships, and what it means to care for yourself, too.
Nature-Based Therapy
Therapy doesn't always have to happen sitting in a chair.
Walk & talk therapy brings our conversations outdoors, combining gentle movement, nature, and space to explore whatever life has been bringing your way.
Offered in Austin, Texas.
Hey, I'm Leylee.
A therapist, a curious human, and someone who believes people are rarely as simple as the advice they're given.
I'm a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor, a first-gen Latina, and someone who's always been fascinated by people. The things we carry, the patterns we repeat, and all the contradictions that come with being human.
I'm warm, collaborative, and not exactly the sit-back-and-nod type of therapist. I'll ask questions, share observations, and challenge you to look at something differently. We can go deep, laugh, cuss, and sit with the I don't knows.
I don't have a perfect formula for being human, and I'm not here to give you one.
There's room to figure things out together.
We Can Start With a Conversation.
Maybe something here felt familiar, or maybe you're still figuring out what you're looking for. You don't need to have all the answers before reaching out.
We can start with a free 15-minute consultation, get to know each other a little, and see if working together feels like a good fit.
