Professional background
Licensed as a Professional Counselor in Virginia and Georgia, Leina has worked in counseling since 2012. Her experience includes private practice, school-based mental health, adoption home-study work, and earlier roles in health education and the U.S. Navy.
Adoption & family transitions
Make room for every part of the story.
Leina’s adoption-related work, including home-study practice since 2011, has shaped her understanding of the many feelings adoption can hold: hope, love, grief, uncertainty, identity, and belonging.
Her writing and professional education encourage thoughtful, nuanced support for adoptive families and the clinicians who walk alongside them. In July 2026, she published an article in the Virginia Mental Health Counselors Association newsletter about making room for the full adoption journey.
