More about Leana:

Life can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re used to thinking your way through things. You might be insightful, self-aware, and able to analyze your patterns, yet still feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to actually be with what you feel. These challenges can show up not only within yourself, but also in your relationships, where patterns of disconnection or miscommunication can feel hard to shift.

​

Leana is a compassionate psychotherapist who supports both individuals and couples in gently moving out of their heads and into a more grounded, embodied relationship—with themselves and with one another. Together, you’ll begin to notice what’s happening beneath the surface: sensations in the body, emotional rhythms, and the protective patterns that may have once helped you cope, but are now getting in the way of connection and ease.

Her approach integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy, creating space not just to understand your experiences, but to feel and process them at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Whether working individually or as a couple, sessions are guided with care and attunement, helping you build the capacity to stay present with your emotions and respond more intentionally rather than becoming overwhelmed or shutting down.

​

Leana offers a warm, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, reconnect, and learn to support yourself—and each other. Over time, this work can deepen self-trust, strengthen relational bonds, expand emotional tolerance, and help you move toward a life and relationships that feel more aligned with your values.

She works with individuals aged 16+ and couples, and offers both in-person sessions in Nepean and virtual therapy.
