Hi! I’m Leah

Hi, I’m Leah (she/her), a registered social worker with over a decade of experience supporting individuals, children, and families through life’s complex and beautiful transitions. My practice is rooted in a warm, non-shaming, and creative approach that is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

I am a queer and neurodivergent social worker. I specialize in working with 2SLGBTQIA folks, neurodivergent individuals (especially ADHD, ASD, learning disabilities, and giftedness), children (ages 6+), and families navigating unique journeys, including donor conception and 2SLGBTQIA family building. I’m also deeply passionate about perinatal mental health, offering compassionate care for people during pregnancy and postpartum, including those experiencing mood and anxiety disorders.

My therapeutic style draws primarily from Emotion-Focused Therapy (for individuals, youth, and families), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. Whether you're a young person trying to make sense of your world or a parent seeking support in theirs, my goal is to create a space that feels gentle, empowering, and free of shame.

Since 2014, I’ve had the privilege of facilitating nearly 40 therapeutic groups for children, adolescents, and parents—helping people connect, heal, and grow in community. Outside of work, I love listening to a good podcast, caring for my many plants, painting, dancing in my living room, and being silly with my kids.

I would love to connect with you for a free consult to see if you resonate with my vibe and would like to give therapy with me a try.
