He values the opportunity to meet and work with adult clients who are seeking options for positive change.
Leonard acknowledges how challenging it can be for some people to seek professional guidance and take the first steps toward change. He aims to provide a comfortable and personable interaction while making every effort to genuinely understand the unique challenges being discussed. To assist, he brings with him signature character strengths of kindness, fairness, honesty, and hope.
He engages a holistic, values driven, and strengths based approach to his interactions with clients and to life in general. To complement and enhance both his professional and personal life, Leonard completed a Master’s of Applied Positive Psychology which is basically the scientific study of what is good and strong in people and how to best develop such for peak performance.
