Fun facts

Childhood activity turned lifelong passion 🎬
Watching movies and getting completely lost in the story I still love that same feeling of escaping into a good film today.

‍

Favorite pastime 💙
Spending quality time with my family. It helps me recharge, stay grounded, and brings a lot of joy outside of work.

‍

Favorite game 🐉
Skyrim. I love getting lost in the world and going on random adventures, it never gets old.

Da'Sha O'Leary

ALMFT
✦ Supervised by
Lesley Washington

I’m based in Illinois and love working with kids and families, helping them feel heard, supported, and a little less overwhelmed by life’s ups and downs. I aim to create a space that feels warm, safe, and even a little fun, where kids can be themselves and families can grow together (with some laughs along the way). I love this work because when children feel seen and supported, amazing things can happen, and I’m grateful to be part of that journey.
