Hi, I’m Leilani, your partner in your journey to greater contentment, connection, and clarity.

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in Bellingham, WA
Supervised by Kimberly Riley, DSW, LMFT, CMHS (Washington / LF61000202)

About My Clients

I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples navigating life transitions and relationships. Whether named as trauma, grief, or something harder to articulate, recognizing your desire for change is where we begin.

My Background and Approach

I help with complex trauma, relational patterns, grief, and the transitions of later life — retirement, caregiving, loss, and identity shifts. Treatment is collaborative: we follow what's present, in a non-judgmental space toward deeper self-understanding and renewed capacity for connection — with yourself and the significant people in your life. I work with Internal Family Systems therapy, Solution-Focused Narrative therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFS for couples & relationships) — frameworks that meet you where you are and move at your pace. Sessions are warm, direct, and never formulaic. We follow what matters most to you, and keep our eyes on the life you actually want. Sessions are warm, direct, and never formulaic.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I work with individuals, couples, and families of all kinds, with a deep belief in each person’s capacity for resilience and growth. My integrative approach draws on mindfulness, Buddhist psychology, and curiosity about various forms of spirituality. I am a clinician, coach, designer, and fine artist whose work sits at the intersection of creativity, healing, and human connection. With formal arts training and a trauma-informed, strengths-based, solution-focused approach, I weave image, metaphor, and creative process into my work — holding space for those who want to explore their inner world not just through words, but through the language of creativity itself.
