With a passion for providing patient-centered care, I established my own clinic -Lakepointe Primary Care- with the goal to promote wellness and preventive healthcare for individuals of all ages, making sure each patient receives the personalized attention they deserve. As a healthcare provider, I have firsthand experience with GLP-1 medications, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, for weight loss management. These medications have proven to be effective tools in supporting patients struggling with obesity by promoting feelings of fullness and regulating appetite. I have seen positive outcomes in patients, not only in weight reduction but also in improvements to overall health, including better blood sugar control. With proper medical guidance and lifestyle changes, GLP-1 therapies offer a promising approach for long-term weight management. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate effectively with a diverse group of patients. Whether you're in need of a routine check-up or managing a chronic condition, I'm here to guide you on your health journey. I look forward to partnering with you for a healthier tomorrow! Treatment philosophy: I believe in providing compassionate, patient-centered care that focuses on the whole person, not just their symptoms. Building strong relationships with my patients is key. I engage with them actively, listening to their concerns and involving them in their treatment decisions. My core values center around empathy, respect, and empowerment. With extensive experience in family medicine, I specialize in managing chronic conditions and preventive care. I am also committed to serving underserved communities. Through education and support, I aim to help my patients achieve their health goals and improve their quality of life. Together, we can foster a healthier future.

Hi, I’m Leigh (pronounced Lee). I’m a clinical social worker based in Honolulu, HI and licensed in all 50 states. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. CBT helps clients recognize that it’s not necessarily the things that happen to us that cause us to struggle, but how we think about these things. When we learn that our first reactions to difficult subjects may be limiting, we can work to change and grow our perspectives. Subsequently, this allows us to feel differently and cope in more helpful ways. As a therapist who loves to travel, I’ve lived in many places in the US (including the Southeast, DMV, Midwest, PNW, and now Hawaii) and have traveled extensively outside the US. I strive to understand cultures I’m not familiar with and have been honored to learn and hold space for clients from many different walks of life. I enjoy working with clients to meet their goals. I view therapy as an active process, where my clients learn skills and tools that allow them to achieve their goals and flourish in their lives. My goal is for you to learn how to be your own therapist and successfully graduate from therapy with this knowledge and practice.
