Leah is the founder and Executive Director of Lewis County Stabilization Project (LCSP), bringing lived experience, professional systems leadership, and deep community commitment to stabilization and reentry work in Lewis County. Her background includes navigating reentry, and generational addiction impacts, alongside years of experience supporting individuals facing homelessness, justice-system involvement, and severe life disruption.
In addition to her current work within Washington State housing and stabilization systems, Leah contributes to regional policy and equity efforts through the Office of Community Voices and Empowerment (OCVE) committee. Leah hopes to advance accountability-centered approaches to recovery, diversion, and long-term stability. Through LCSP, she is also building non-clinical stabilization programming with a diversion-first focus for unaccompanied youth and justice-impacted young adults, supported by strong community and workforce partnerships.
Leah holds academic training in criminal justice and behavioral health, with an emphasis on trauma-informed care, peer-supported recovery, and culturally responsive stabilization pathways. She is passionate about creating structured opportunities for independence, belonging, and restored community connection.
